“I was still a little rusty coming back from break in yesterday's game. I felt a lot sharper tonight because I played yesterday. Our team defense was just phenomenal this weekend and we just need to keep getting better as a team.”
Joe Fallon
“I chalk that up to nothing more than coincidence. Tonight we were just sharper offensively than we were on Friday. We didn't get a lot of chances, but the ones we had, we made count. We wanted to take one step this weekend and we took one positive step.”
Dave Hakstol
“I got ahead of hitters and my stuff looked a little sharper tonight. I attacked the strike zone. It's very nice to get first win.”
Kameron Loe
“We have to be able to execute - make sharper, harder cuts [to the basket] and just stay with our game plan. We just have to fight our way out of it.”
Shaun Wynn
“This was a classic, two great pitchers going at it, and Brooks (Brown) was a little sharper tonight. We put more pressure on (Josh) Butler early and finally got a run in the sixth, but he made some good pitches when we had runners in scoring position. Both guys had three pitches working tonight. After we got the lead, Brooks gave us one more inning which was huge and then we could turn it over to Joshua (Fields). It really shortens the game when you know you have a guy like Joshua who can come in and close it out for you.”
David Perno
“They'll get much sharper. Always that first week coming out of spring training you have days off and travel, and generally pitchers aren't as sharp because of the difference in routine.”
Darryl Kennedy
“[Theodore] is playing very well. He's looking sharper and sharper every game.”
