(Mitchell) Kilkenny was ready and eager to go back to the bullpen. (Cason) Sherrod has really come on and (Kaylor) Chafin has been a mainstay. I feel like the last couple of weeks are bullpen has been our strength. We certainly have gone to it in a big way in the last few days. We got three shutout innings from Sherrod yesterday and then the six shutout innings today that gave us a chance to come back and win this thing.""A lot of people were in the stands today coming off the football game with parent's weekend and just like that we are down three-nothing. It's a little bit deflating but to answer back quickly and with life was really important.""He left some fastballs out in the zone and out over the plate and it's one of the things we pick up on is trying to dominate the fastball away. That's what we tried to do today. On the home run, I got that fast ball away and was able to put a good swing on it.""I think that was one of the better performances we've had out of the bullpen. There have been games where things just haven't gone our way. I got lucky to be able to throw up some zeroes and keep our team in it.""I love this role. There's a lot of excitement and energy in the crowd every time I come in. I just have to give it my all for a little bit instead of the full game. The adrenaline plays a part in everything I do as closer. I'm just trying to go out and do the job coach asks of me."
