era innings late pitcher territory
When a pitcher has an ERA under 4.00 in this league, that's really good, ... To be this late (with his ERA) and to have 180-plus innings and an ERA under 4.00, that's all new territory for me.
chance consistent giving guys knew last pitcher proud
That's the one I was the most proud of from last season. Even when I was going through it, I knew it was kind of cool. I'm being consistent and I'm giving the guys a chance to win. That's what any pitcher wants.
looked prove trying
I think just being who I am and the way I have always looked at things and the way I got to the big leagues, always trying to prove myself ... now it's a part of me and the only way I know how to go about my business.
fastball throw
I thought I located my fastball pretty well. I made some mistakes, but for the most part I think I did pretty well. If I can throw like I did today, then why can't I do it in a week? We'll find out down the stretch.

I think I threw more strikes than I got credit for. I was around the zone a lot. I definitely got my work in.

good happened hitting home mistakes perfect
Those just happened to be perfect mistakes for those hitters. Those two home runs, they aren't very good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they are hitting .240 for a reason.
closer good position
We were in a good position going into the ninth, and then we had our closer out there.
fourth gave good pitches run settled
We made some good pitches in the first, just not good enough. They scored another run in the fourth that was the game-winner. So as much as we settled down, we still gave it back up to them.
ball belt control except felt last
I felt I had better control except for the last inning when everything went belt high. I think I located the ball a little better than the last time.
control guess learned lesson
I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet, that I can't control it.
catch kid strong
He's a big kid with long arms. I don't think he got it off the end of the bat. It had to catch a little barrel. But he's a big boy, a strong kid.
rookie
He could be the Rookie of the Year. He should be here a long time.
definitely improved
I feel like I've definitely improved each year.
