He did the bunt on his own. I have confidence in him to handle the bat and get a ground ball to the right side. He's an unselfish player.

We pitched well in tight games. Pitching and defense were our strengths today.

That's what we needed from Derek to help his club out. He was put in a tough situation, but it's good you can put someone like that in the game that you can count on.

You can see what it does for the lineup having him in there, as far as runs are concerned. He makes everyone more comfortable on offense, and defensively.

All of our pitchers threw well today.

Obviously, the first game went how we wanted it to go. The second game was pitched extremely well.
