Right now, we?re just not getting the hits with runners in scoring position that we need. We want to get this turned around as soon as possible. Right now, it has been a rough first week.

People are trying to play, they're not out there trying to mess up. That's just how the game goes sometimes. Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and unfortunately we were on the losing end today. We know we're better than that.

Things just started falling in. You never want to see anyone hurt or injured, but I just came up and tried to make the most of my opportunity.

That's why you play nine innings. It doesn't matter when you score them, although it's always better to score them early. We needed one more, and we couldn't get it.
That's not my job. I show up. I play.

I just got a good pitch to hit, a fastball up in the zone, and fortunately it landed on the other side of the fence.
