Key Quotes:
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On the pitching today including Zach Brown's performance in relief…
"We'll find the right guys who want to get in there and get in the fire and throw strikes and execute pitches. We have to make pitches and make plays. I thought Zach threw the ball fine. He kept us in the game and allowed us to save our bullpen. He did things well. They're a good club and got off some good swings."
