against baseball class consistent good home last league less national nice played series timely won
That is the class of the National League for the last 14 years. It's pretty big. We've never even won a series at home against them, much less a sweep. We played good, consistent baseball to do it -- with pitching, good timely hitting. It was a nice series.
fastball hard throwing
Tomo was very crisp today. He was sharp, he was throwing his fastball as hard as he has all year.

We're going to give this a shot, and a shot is not one day.
We're doing a lot of little things right. We're getting some breaks, too.

There are things we're still trying to accomplish. The .500 mark is one of them, and to continue to battle in the wild-card race is one of them. You can't fall too far behind in either one of those at this time of year.
hit runner scoring spot though
The only way he doesn't go out is if we get to his spot and there's a runner in scoring position, ... Then I probably would have hit for him, even though he was 2 for 2.
bases picking playing running third
We're playing pretty sound, fundamentally. We're going from first to third when we need to. We're picking up big runs. We're running the bases good. We're doing a lot of little things right.
bring extra five games pitching player problems run short turn
We're a player short for a day or two because of Branyan. We thought it was more important to have an extra player on the bench. It's only for, what, five games because we're off Monday. And if we run into pitching problems we can always turn right around and bring someone up.
