“We’ve played some of our best ball this year with our backs to wall, in crunch time, (and) you’ve got watch out when you back us into a corner,” said Miles Mikolas, a starter who got the win in relief. “Sometimes you see it in his face. Sometimes you see it in his eyes. . . . When you’ve got a guy like Yadi telling you that you can do it and there are similarities between this team and other teams he’s been on — using examples, making connections — it gives you a lot of confidence. When a guy like that tells you it’s going to be OK, we got this, you stop and that goes right to your heart. You believe every word he says.”
