“They were ready to go. They had seven hits and scored four runs in that first inning. I mean, they just wanted it a little more than we did.”
Tony Taylor
“I'm encouraged by our depth and happy with our distribution of scoring. Seven players scored eight or more and 12 of the 14 players scored, so that's pretty good balance.”
Jeff Dellis
“When you score seven runs you expect to win. [Garland] just fell apart for a couple of innings. Obviously it's not a good outing.”
Ozzie Guillen
“We scored seven runs and we still had a lot of chances. When you get to the end of the game and have a chance to tie or go ahead, in a game like that, back and forth, that's about all you can ask for.”
Jerry Narron
“We've just got to score five to seven runs and we'll be fine.”
Rob Miller
“We don't score a lot of runs a lot of times. We don't score seven or eight runs a lot.”
Phil Garner
“That's one thing about the Cardinals, they're not going to lay down and die. Even after we scored seven runs I wasn't comfortable. They can put runs on the board in a hurry.”
