approach call finish focus good hard looked start strong
At that point, I kind of reevaluated my approach and really looked hard into what I could do better. I think it was a good wake-up call for me. I've got one more start to finish up strong and that's where my focus is.

There's a little sense of urgency coming towards the end of the season, with everything up in the air contract-wise, ... I think with the importance of every start going in, trying to be a little more focused, I've picked up on a few things that can be helpful.

We have a young team and a lot to prove. It's a good test for us to play the best teams in the American League.

Last year I was scared. I was very scared because I didn't know what it was. This is best for the team.
except felt good groove height pitches three using walks
I went out there and felt good. Everything was going good there for a while. For me to be successful, I have to keep it down, using my height to my advantage. Today, three pitches got up and they made me pay. For the most part, I was in the groove except for those three pitches and two walks to Wilkinson. That's being too fine.
experience good line playing team teams win
I thought I pitched better than my stat line is going to show, ... We all did what we had to do to win the game. This is a good experience for our team, for a team that hasn't been to the postseason, playing teams that are playing like it's the playoffs.
fastball
That was a fastball that was all over the place. But it worked.
aggressive count normally pitch quickly team
That was more the team I'm used to facing. They weren't as aggressive tonight. That's what they normally do. They try to get your pitch count up quickly then get into your bullpen.
advantage mistakes pitches runs score three took
Three pitches got up and they made me pay. They score runs in bunches and took advantage of my mistakes.
across alignment best blessing body free happened life looking pitches threw
It's going to be a blessing for me. What I'm finding, because I threw across my body, I never could free up my arm. My pitches have more life to them now than they ever had. And if I do get out of alignment a little bit, I can feel it. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. That's the way I'm looking at it.
advantage cut dried good hurt mistakes runs score three took
It was kind of a cut and dried game. Three mistakes and two walks. That's what hurt me and they're a good team. They score runs in bunches and they took advantage of my mistakes.
hope shut team
I hope what he did doesn't get forgotten, because when you shut a team down you're doing something right.
