He struggled with his command a little bit. He looked good on some pitches, real good on some pitches. Then he struggled a little bit.
ball count deep good looked mound plate settled seven six threw
He threw the ball well. I was very pleased. He had good mound presence, threw the ball over the plate and after probably six or seven pitches, it looked like he said, 'Alright I'm going at them,' and he did. He just settled right in. He didn't go deep in the count a lot of times. He went right after them and made them do something.

He threw the ball well. He was experimenting with different things, and I think that's a good thing.
ball balls behind breaking focused gave good guy hitters home lapse mental threw throw
He threw the ball down, threw some good breaking balls and went after the hitters pretty good. He had a little mental lapse there. He got behind on a guy and gave up a home run. If we keep him focused and throw like that he'll be fine.

break came felt fought good hard hit lights orlando point seemed until
Gallo's been lights out, he's been good. We fought hard in the game. We seemed to have some other opportunities. ... We just couldn't break through until Orlando came up with the big hit for us. Normally, when we got to that point of the game, it's pretty solid. I felt pretty good at that point.

certainly favor fresh game good lead matter mound roy score third until
I never feel comfortable until the game is over no matter what the score is, but you certainly feel good with Roy on the mound when you have a good lead and you have a fresh bullpen. You feel a lot of things are in your favor but we couldn't get that third strike.
sure
I'm sure he'll be fine. It's just bruised. I wanted to be cautious.
