Because of our good defense, it allows our pitchers to get out of an inning quicker and throw less pitches.

My guys played hard but weren't good enough. We got out-hit and out-pitched.

My team has really played about as well as it can play the last two weeks. First part of the year, we weren't quite as good ... we've gotten better with a young team.

I feel like we have a pretty good bench, and a lot of times you can't get guys in, but we were able to give some guys chances. I thought we played well in all areas. We made plays defensively and only walked one.

You win the first two, you want to do a good job on Sunday and try to get the sweep. But it's hard to do, and we just weren't able to do it today because of Crawford.
