He pitched exceptional. He matched an All-American pitcher, pitch for pitch. He made good pitches when he had to.

When he got in a couple of jams, he made some pitches when he had to. But he pitched, and that's what we've been talking about. It's something that he's learned, to not overthrow, and now he's just pitching.

He did a good job of making pitches when he needed to. We'd like to see him pitch ahead a bit more. He got behind a lot of hitters. But he did a pretty good job of making the pitches when he had to.

He pitched good, not great. And if he doesn't give it up to Johnson, he pitches great.

Sometimes, when you get a pitcher throwing as many pitches as that, with the next hitter, they try and stay in the strike zone more and not waste as many pitches, ... I guess that's what happened.

They've pitched him tougher, ... I mean, they've made a lot of good pitches on him lately, you know. I felt like Jhonny's swings were actually a little bit better. I thought his passes through the baseball were a little bit better.
