I just went out and blew it again. I tried to get the ball away from the plate. It came back over and he made me pay for it.

I'm not going to let the last couple of outings get me down,

From early on, we found out that these fans know the game. They have our backs, and however this season plays out, we're looking to be playing in front of them next year.

I never thought I could do this. Who knew I could do this? Not me. I just go after the hitters and try to learn something every day. I haven't been fancy these last couple of weeks. Throwing just fastballs.

I felt good getting on the mound and going one, two, three. I'm happy it wasn't like that Tigers game. Everything was working. I threw what I wanted. The slider was working well.

I did stuff I thought I'd never do, ... It was totally unexpected.
