It was phenomenal to get that type of run support. You only get that two or three times a year, so it was nice that they were able to pick me up. I appreciated that.

balls corners figured hit middle start teams threw trouble
I think I figured it out, ... All teams that start with T give me trouble. Tampa, Toronto, Texas. But in all honesty, it's the way it goes. The balls I threw on the corners they hit and the ones over the middle they crushed. It's just one of those nights.
