I had no clue what was going on, I was watching the outfielders. I was like, ‘What happened?’ Just thank God it was a homer.

The home run certainly felt that way. The steal of home, that was one of the cooler things I’ve seen on a baseball field. He certainly gets up for the moment. He has proven that day in and day out, and definitely when it’s postseason time.

You see what Kiké is doing at the plate right now. The biggest thing is to let him keep going up there and keep doing what he's doing. Give him high fives whenever he comes in, hits a home run, hits a big double, whatever it is. Don't mention anything. Let him keep enjoying the moment. That's the biggest thing. We're all enjoying the moment right now.

Christian, he works so hard on his craft. He cares so much about this organization that for him to be in that spot and put a good swing and hit the ball out of the ballpark, I know it means a lot to him. It means a lot to us. It was a big swing, but we're up 2-1. We've still got work to do.

I mean, here we are surprising everybody but ourselves. We knew in Spring Training we had the team to make it this far, and here we are.
