I think he's got me a little bit. I'd have to throw two shutouts in a row. I think he's done a great job all year, and if I had to pick one right now, it would be him.

It's still in our hands. It's just going to be a little tougher.

I got it done today. I really didn't have my 'A' game. ... I really didn't feel like I had good zip on my fastball today, but I was still able to locate it pretty good. I know I got them looking for fastballs, and then started throwing changeups a little.

It is about doing skills, but it also really about teamwork, following directions and so forth.

It's up to us. For a while, I thought it was out of reach and I was just thinking about the wild card, but the White Sox have fallen apart lately. We've got to play them six times. It's possible.

The crowd was really pumped. I think they are starting to realize what's going on here. If we can make the playoffs, I think we have a chance to be a force.

I give up two and Victor gets us back. That was huge. It was like he erased what I did and we were back to 0-0.

When you get a lead like that early, you attack the zone, throw strikes, and force them to put the ball in play. I felt like I did a good job of that for the most part.

I was pretty lucky out there. We got off to a pretty quick lead and I had some cushion to work with and I just gave it right back to them.
