We have faced him a lot the last few years,” Boone said. “We had some success. He had some games where he had his way. He had a good changeup going today. I thought he cut the ball in well. Command is usually a strength of his as well. First and foremost, he pitched us tough. We gotta get it rolling offensively. We have to do better than that.”
