It's good, especially against a team like them who has handled us this season.

The first three games of the series were frustrating for me. I was missing some pitches that I normally hit. Both (home run) pitches were in the zone and I took advantage of them.

I'm taking it like I'm trying to make the team. I think that's how you have to approach it. I don't know what's going to happen but my attitude is that I want to prove I should stay in the major leagues.

I thought it went OK. I got my feet wet and was able to kind of establish myself a little bit. I did some things well and found out I still have some things to work on.

It was definitely nice to walk into a clubhouse and see a lot of the faces you came up with. It helped with just being comfortable and not feeling too overwhelmed.

For a younger guy, it makes you feel better that the future's not that far away. As long as you do what you're supposed to be doing and you can play and you do well, you're going to move up.
