He found a rhythm because he had a lot of near-misses early, which got his pitch count up in the early innings,They were taking close pitches. You don’t know if that was their game plan or not, to make him work. But he found his rhythm and he was pitching ahead all the time. That’s always big when you can pitch ahead, especially when you have big hitters like they have over there.”
