I heard the expectations about this staff coming into the season. But I feel like this staff is just as good as it was last year.

My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win every time I step out there. We lost a lot of guys from last year and I knew I had to step up. I trained really hard in the fall and spring to throw as many pitches as I need to.

Coach always preaches to us, get ahead, get ahead, make something happen.

My delivery got out of hand a little. It's frustrating but I won't let it get to me.

We don't accept just taking the series. We want to come out tomorrow and get the sweep.

I tried to pull everyone through. Everyone worked really hard today but that stuff (errors) is going to happen.

But the bullpen did a great job and my teammates helped me out.

My teammates' play behind me helped. Every time I start, I get stronger.
