He had the strikeout ball going, which I think was indicative of his stuff,”I thought he was a little inconsistent sometimes. I thought he had some guys put away probably a few times, where he was 0-2, and let them back in the count a little bit. Overall, another solid performance; just not as efficient as maybe he would have liked.”

“I’ve been feeling great,”It’s nice to be on my routine. I think that’s the main part of my body recovery that I feel like I missed out of the bullpen, when you’ve got to be up every day. In the rotation, you can have those days to recover, get a full bullpen in between starts and go out there.”
