He said on the mound he didn't try to hit me. I just looked at him and said, 'Come on man.' It really hurt. He nearly took my nipple off.

He said on the mound he didn't try to hit me, ... I just looked at him and said, 'Come on man.' It really hurt. He nearly took my nipple off.

It was nice to get a couple of runs early and quiet their crowd, but when Manny hits his home run, it was 'here they come again,' .

We had fun here. It was fun trying to play spoiler.

I felt like I had a good start, then had a bad month of June and been pretty consistent since the all-star break, ... I'm not disappointed with my season, but it definitely could have been better.

No. I got hit right in the nipple. Not fun. He said on the mound he didn't mean to hit me. He just pulled a four-seam fastball. He said, 'My bad.' He said he was sorry.

We never give him any support it seems, especially against Baltimore. He did well the whole game, he's been looking pretty good so that's a good sign for us.
