That was the perfect situation to be in. I didn't start the game, but I got a chance to be up in a situation where I can put our club ahead with one swing.

I haven't had a lot of hits in September,

All I can do is try the best when I am in there. My goal is to make it a very difficult decision for them to keep me out of the lineup.

We've already got a ton of pressure going out there. We can't start worrying about that we have to win this and we have to win that. We just had to go out there and try to get a run.

We had momentum. We got good swings and put up numbers tonight.

It's been awhile. I knew it was still there. That's a big load off my shoulders. I'm a mellow kind of guy, but I was fired up.
