It definitely came out of nowhere. My body's been feeling amazing so far this year,""I definitely felt it early in the bullpen, but things pop up as a pitcher and as a player. You have small things that pop up throughout the season. Throughout the game, it was definitely there. But for me, it was one of those things where I felt like it was probably going to work itself out."

Just fired up for Grish,”Obviously hasn’t gotten the playing time that he’s used to as an everyday player in this league. We fall behind there, 1-0, and he answers there in that second [inning] with the two-run stop to grab us the lead -- just missed another one with the sac fly. Three RBIs on the board, and what he’s able to do in center, so excited for him to really have a big hand in this victory.”
