against game huge last losing nice played split tough year
We hadn't played real well against them here, and last year as well. It's nice to come in here after losing a tough game yesterday, and getting the split was huge for us.
game goes hit home love run seen
You'd love to have seen him hit a home run right there, or get a big hit. But that's the way the game goes sometimes.
biggest game hit middle nobody pressure single spot third
Actually, I think the biggest at-bat of that whole inning was Quintero's. He got the single up the middle, and we went first-to-third there. Now, we got first and third and nobody out. We got pressure on them. That was a big spot in the game to come up with that hit up the middle with two strikes.

bit early finally game middle pitch stay struggling swung trying
I'm just trying to stay more in the middle of the field, to give myself a better chance. I was struggling a little bit early in the game -- trying to find it a little bit. That time, I got a pitch and finally swung at it good. It's just one of things that went my way.
fastball five games good guy strikes team threw won
The guy won 21 games for a reason. He was pretty good, he had a good sinker, fastball and curveball and he threw them all for strikes and I think that was the key. We got down five runs, but we didn't give up. We never give up, and that's something this team has done all year.

great known tip tremendous
That was a tremendous play, and he's known for that. He's a great outfielder, and sometimes you have to tip your cap.
bat bit chance consistent drive good stay swing trying zone
I was trying to put a good swing on a pitch. I was trying to give myself a chance to drive in some runs. I'm trying to stay more consistent and get my bat through the zone a little bit better and give myself a chance.
baseball best good protecting
When you've got one of the best closers in all of baseball protecting a three-run lead, you feel pretty good about things,
adding anybody doubt gives pressure produce
We want to produce as much as anybody else. It gives us a boost, no doubt about it. When we're hitting, there's a lot more pressure on the pitcher. Plus, we're adding on, which is something that we haven't done as much as we'd like to.
pitch threw throwing
He was throwing every pitch for a strike, and he threw it at the right spot.
doubt last might struggles votes
He went through many struggles last year. There no doubt he's the MVP of this team. He might get some votes for MVP of the league. He's been huge.
far gratifying last miss obviously witness year
I did miss it last year as far as being out on the field, but I did get to witness it on the bench, and that's better than nothing. It's obviously a lot more gratifying than watching.
