Santana ... Ervin not Johan.

I don't feel any different. I feel very good, like how I pitched in the first half.

You have to keep pitching, and if you make a mistake you know it is going to be a hit, ... You keep trying to pitch and keep the ball down.

I wanted to keep them off-balance and keep the ball down.

I was in big trouble, one out, men on first and third. I just wanted to get a ground ball.

It's the same ballgame, ... I don't know what happened. I try to do my job on the road, too.

I'm happy anyway because wherever they put me, I'll pitch and do my job.

Be respectful and understand where you're at.
