It didn't start well. Coming out and giving up a two-run home run.

At the back of the rotation, they're not looking for guys to go out and throw shutouts, they just want us to keep them in the game, ... I understand that, especially coming from Colorado, where keeping the team in the game was all we hoped for.

As a whole group, I think that's how the team felt. 'Well, what's going to happen today?' As opposed to coming over here, it's like, 'There's no doubt we're going to win today.'

I knew coming in it was either going to be one of those days where I struggled, and I was going to have to sit out there and eat up innings or I was going to pitch good,
