Raul ? he struggled at times last year when he was here, but everyone knew he had games like this one in him.

We were just trying to locate a fastball away - trying to get ahead. He got good wood on it. He timed it good and hit it out of the park. I tip my hat to him.

All the guys pitched well. Valdes ? he was awesome.

Talk about command ? he was in command all day. We established the fastball early. That made the pitches after that all that much better.

Awesome. He was just simply awesome.

I try to stay more focused from a catching standpoint than a hitting standpoint. My main goal is to help my pitchers. Hitting for me is a plus.
