I was waiting for something to happen, anything, and then Nick hit a three-run homer. We won it 4-3. Nick was the guy.

You still have to have the punch to hit a three-run homer when you need it.

Being able to pinch-hit and get [the two-run homer Saturday] and this ... I don't know what's going on.

Nick had a tremendous 200 and 400. He won them both with some real decent times.

I'm just glad we won. If I had hit three solo shots and we lost, who cares? ... They came in big spots. I love playing in this ballpark. I came through here a lot of years with the A's. I see the ball well, and it gets out of here to left.

The minute he hit it I knew if it didn't go foul it was going to be a homer. I was so mad at myself. It was one of those situations where I didn't necessarily want to fall behind 2-1. But even if it's away it's just a base hit. But it stayed down the middle. As soon as it came out of my hand I felt it coming.
