He missed some spots early. But he settled down and figured out a way to keep us in the ball game and give us an opportunity to win.

John was cruising the first few innings. So, his pitch count wasn't that high. I didn't mind sending him out there eight times, but I didn't feel comfortable sending him out there a ninth time, and Scott's being throwing real well lately.

I felt like we played a little bit tentative early in the game, and that's a sign of being a young team. But I was proud of the way we hung in there and battled.

(To be) 1-1 is 50 times better than 0-2, especially in a region like ours, where anybody can beat anybody. It was a boring game for the first seven innings. Neither team was able to get much going offensively, but it was a matter of time before somebody did something.
