It's exciting to go out and do well against that type of competition. Every hitter out there is unbelievable. They're all the best each team has to offer.

I'm just going to keep pitching, and whatever happens happens.

Once I overcame my arm problems, I got it together. Obviously, (the rehab time) helped me fine-tune some things and allowed me to go out and pitch my game.

We are still in the middle of the competition.

It was just a great competition that I had with Roman. It's always great to beat the king,

Todd brings a veteran presence to the team and he'll be one of the catchers in the competition for the backup spot behind Mike Matheny.
