It’s hard to say for sure that it forced the error, but it definitely helped disrupt the play. It was also a decision

That’s not the play we want to do that on, with two outs,”“It was actually a mistake, because if [Florial] makes contact with him there, they can call it a double play. So I think we got a little bit fortunate there.”

I was having trouble finding the strike zone,”“Relatively liked them -- [they were] fine and competitive pitches -- but nevertheless outside the zone, and I thought the Pirates did a really good job of staying to the baseball and making good swings. It allowed them to get a lot of hits, and for the most part, [they were] really not expanding the strike zone at all.”

Limiting damage was the key,”Even though it was six hits, it was six singles. I feel like in those situations, we just kept making good pitches with the fastball. Sometimes it got us into trouble, but it got us out of trouble, too.”
