"We have good internal leadership,'' Duquette said, "and really, we're able to compete because we've got those two young kids in the rotation who came through with great talent, right? [Dylan] Bundy and [Kevin] Gausman. And then Mychal Givens emerged and Britton has the great year that he had. ... Those are players who came through that you couldn't necessarily count on for the roles that they filled on this team. And then to have the veteran pitchers come around like they have the last month of the season, that gives us a good foundation going into the playoffs."
