behind change eighth hitters innings maybe ninth pitchers seems team
We've been outscored in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings maybe 100-2, it seems like. And when we get behind like that, it's tough. The hitters have to change their approach, the pitchers on the other team get to play around up there. I mean, they don't have to go right at you.
We just have to play better at home. We know that,
behind fantastic grand hit job step
He's done a fantastic job behind the plate, ... But for him to step up there and hit a grand slam, that was big for us.

He was just effective enough to keep our hitters off balance all night.

This was a good series for us, ... We could have very easily taken all four. We have two months to go. We know where San Diego is, we know where the Dodgers are. We haven't had a good run yet, this was a good start for us.

I always say I don't have the best skills, but I'm going to give it everything I've got. It's not always been pretty, but there's something to be said for guys that play in the league for a long time and know how to get the job done.
best guy likes pitchers
He's one of the best pitchers in the league. He's the guy no one likes to face.
hit looking sooner success
I just go up there looking to see something up in the zone, ... He's around the plate, that's where he has success from. You know you're going to get something to hit sooner than later.
box drive easy job learn middle opportunity run stay
I just have to learn to stay there -- I want to get out of the box so quick. You're in the middle of the order, and your job is to drive in runs, but it was an easy opportunity for me, and if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably do the same thing. I'd just try not to run out of the box so soon.
