It was one of those games that was all bend and no break. That was the tightest zone I ever had, but you have to deal with it.

I couldn't tell. I was watching and I know the umpire tried to make the best call he could. Fortunately, it went our way.

I guess he disguised it well.

I felt pretty good. I made some really good pitches. I think I officially had the tightest [strike] zone I've ever had today to get me into some bad pitcher's counts. That's the stuff you have to deal with.

They backed me up. One of those games that was all bend and no break.

If you define MVP, he's the guy.

They really picked me up. It was one of those games -- bend but don't break. I sure don't like bending that much though. But it was a big win for us.

There was no decision. I still felt strong. I still had some gas in my tank. I probably had my worst at-bat ever.

That's how baseball is, ... It's one of those games where I didn't pitch good enough and we didn't hit good enough. The young guy over there did a great job.
