early great obvious runs spot today
Today was a do-or-die for them, and he pitched a great game. It's obvious that he is a big-game pitcher. So when you spot him some runs early and he has that cushion, then it makes him that much better.
great needs spark tomorrow whether
Something needs to spark us, and I think that we'll do something tomorrow night. Whether it be a great play or a big hit, a two-out hit, something like that. We haven't had any of the above. We need to get something like that to kind of get the momentum.

case confident extremely hit matter talked
Khalil and I talked about it, ... He's just extremely confident that he can hit it out in this ballpark, because no matter where you hit it, it can go out of this ballpark. That's not the case in our park.
far hitter percentage productive trying
My whole thing is getting on base. My on-base percentage is the No. 1 thing. That equates to runs, ... I'm just trying to be productive as far as being a leadoff hitter and being on base.
