The confidence rolled up from the offense there in the first inning. Going out there and giving me some quick early runs took the pressure off me a little bit and I was able to go out and attack the zone.

That's a tough lineup, regardless of their record or what people say about them.

I'm not going to worry about how other people look at it. In this clubhouse, we know what we're capable of doing.

There is nobody you can go around to get to somebody else. You have to go out and attack and be careful at the same time.

Hopefully it doesn't make me too strong, ... I've just been really anxious to get on the mound.

I was strong. I was really strong. The offense took the pressure off me in the first inning.

I was upset at myself for getting the lead and then giving it right back. I let my team down.

It seemed like the first four innings I couldn't throw a strike to get ahead of a guy. But I kept battling and kept attacking and didn't change my approach throwing the ball at all and I think that's what helped out.

Only time I shook him all game.
