I'm not into stats. Nine strikeouts is a plus, but the main thing is just to be back. My arm felt great and I was hitting my spots and keeping the ball down.

By the fourth inning, it was down to 82.

The first inning, I felt real sick. I went straight from throwing up to the mound. I was tired, throwing up and I didn't feel that good.

I felt incredible - it was quite an adrenalin rush, and the atmosphere was great. I was too excited to hold anything back.

I don't do a lot of 'what ifs.

It was worth the wait. It felt great. (Catcher Adrian) Casanova called a great game, and it felt awesome.

I've never played with a better baseball player than Taylor Harbin. His baseball instincts, his savvy on the field are the best I've ever seen.
