I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
I know he throws a lot of sliders, ... He throws hard but usually his fastball is just to keep you honest.
A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.
The first pitch, he threw me was a slider and I swung kind of too hard. Then he threw me another one for a ball and I stayed with my game plan. I didn't really try to do too much, just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
We've got to continue to battle and not put pressure on ourselves.
We're going through a tough time right now. But a win is a win, and we'll take it.

Being a rookie, you don't know what to expect out of a World Series. You're just happy to be there. It's basically a lot of rah-rah, ... Now, I've had a lot of playoff experience with Oakland. This is my fifth time in the postseason. I'm just happy to get back and I hope to get a ring this time.
You can let the game come to you and we did that tonight. We haven't had one of these in a while. The offense showed up and Freddy went out there and did what he needed to.
Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
We had a guy at the plate that hadn't played in a while, so it's tough to expect him to go up there and get a hit.
We're trying to win series. You feed off everything, and we're all doing well. It's an all-around team effort.
One of the worst weather games we played in so far.
No one ever said this was going to be easy. We've got to stay positive and just find a way to get some momentum.
