“That was something I've never done in my career. When I was getting ready to throw, I had the feeling something was about to go wrong. It wasn't a one-run game, so that made it easier for me to take.”
“My pitches were starting to come along as the innings went by. I was trying to be too accurate on the corners at the beginning but I started not to worry about it too much as my pitches were going really well.”
“I was not convinced with that outcome. The day off helped very much. I was able to rejuvenate. Up until the game, I did have the weight of the flag on me because we could not lose again. Once the game started, I was back to myself.”
“Well, it was my first experience to pitch in the game with the world championship on the line. I was going to feel a lot of pressure, as this is something you wouldn't be able to buy. But I did not feel much of it once I got on the mound.”
