I was just trying to make sure Andruw and I weren't going to dive into each other, because I knew he was going to be pretty close, too, ... I felt like I had a pretty good bead on it. I just thought I could make up for losing that one in the lights the inning before.

We want to keep it going, ... We're all young and it's almost like a motivation to know we have the chance to keep this thing going for a while.

This one is the best, ... It's September and we're coming down the stretch, where every game is magnified. Being able to do it in this situation feels pretty sweet.
