Oct. 7 Corey Kluber & Lonnie Chisenhall postgame interview
- Updated: October 8, 2016
Q. Lonnie, over the years you’ve kind of had the front row seat to how Tito manages the lineup. Today he put you in against Price. How much do you appreciate that he’s looking at a variety of factors and you get an opportunity to go in there tonight?

Q. Lonnie, how hard was it to see out there in the twilight, with the shadows, as a hitter?
LONNIE CHISENHALL: As a hitter? It was a tough day. I think the first six or seven hitters came in and they mentioned not being able to see the ball at all. It was a difficult game time, especially during the regular season when you don’t play any games — or hardly any at 4:30. So we’re going to have to deal with situations like that offensively and …
