I got a fastball across the middle on the homer. I'll take some hacks. After the first inning, I'm not really a lead-off man. I've got to try to drive guys in just like anyone else.

It's frustrating to go one inning after another and give up a homer an inning.

Not too shabby. Getting out of that first inning was huge for him, because you could see he was nervous, but he got that big double-play ball and then he settled in.

He's still got a blazing fastball,

His fastball location the first two innings was not there, and that was forcing him to make too many pitches.

He said about the fourth inning, all the sudden it clicked with his fastball command. I'll bet having the run support had something to do with that because he had some room for error. He could go out and be aggressive.
