Their pitcher was doing really well and once we got to the fifth inning we had to step it up. We had a couple of breaks and that turned into a huge inning.

It’s helped a lot. Two years ago I would never have thought I would be hitting with Mark McGwire. He really likes to concentrate on extension and get the fullest amount of power you can...

That was a great inning. A lot of it came with two outs and we kept fighting. Nobody wanted to make the last out and it just shows how deep our line-up is.

[Robinson] is a great threat on the bases. I get a lot of fastballs, which has helped me a lot.
