This is what makes pitchers: get out there and battle. You've got to battle your way out of some jams, and he did that. Superb effort.

If Carpenter hadn't been out there, it might have been easier. He got in a couple of jams, and he got out of them. That's why he's a 19-game winner.

It's a good omen that he can pick up a win when he doesn't have his really good stuff. He'll get his 20. You can put money on that.

It didn't really hit me until the guys started congratulating me. Certainly it's something you're going to remember, the way the guys came back.

We can't keep letting good pitching performances get away.

This guy has the poise, the know-how, the confidence. You can't say enough good things about the kid.
