When you get a lead like that early, you attack the zone, throw strikes, and force them to put the ball in play. I felt like I did a good job of that for the most part.

I couldn't throw strikes early and when I did they were sitting on it,

We needed Rich to throw that fastball down in the zone better when we have a lead like that late in the game.

When your team's doing that stuff, it makes it easy to throw strikes.

I think he's got me a little bit. I'd have to throw two shutouts in a row. I think he's done a great job all year, and if I had to pick one right now, it would be him.

Throw strikes down in the strike zone. A fastball up in the zone looks like a beach ball. The other thing I stress is location. If you can locate a pitch, you'll do fine.
