My swing feels good. Last night (Friday), I missed a home run by just a couple of feet. And the game before that, I hit a couple of balls hard. I don't feel I'm in a slump. I still feel every time I'm out there that I'm going to hit a home run.
It was a little cutter, middle-in, and I had been looking for it, ... He threw it to me last time we were over here and he hadn't thrown it yet. He threw it, and I was able to get the bat head out in front of it.
They were making their run right with us. It was an exciting time for us and them, too.
It's the first time I've faced him, and it's just a rush to face a guy like that, ... I've seen him throw so many years and he throws so hard. It's just a challenge. It feels good anytime you have success on a guy like that.
He's one of the best pitchers in the game, ... Every time he's out there, he doesn't make too many mistakes and tonight he didn't make too many mistakes. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap when you go up against some pitchers.
