Q. You started off a little rocky and then you got it back. How did you turn it around? JAKE ARRIETA: Well, I think really controlling my effort is when I was able to get locked in. I kind of had my foot on the gas a little too much at the start, trying to do more than I needed to. Then I really got back to just executing good pitches towards the bottom of the strike zone. With the cutter going one way and the sinker going the other way, trying to be as aggressive as I could, and allow those guys to put the ball in play and let the defense work. I was able to get some strikeouts because of the aggressiveness and not trying to overthrow. I think at least one of the walks in the first was kind of pretty much due to that, and being a little overly amped up, and trying to do more than I had to. But after that inning, I was able to kind of settle down and pitch well from that point on. Then in the sixth, I think that maintaining a consistent feel and on a night like this with the weather the way it was can be tough. So I tried to keep the body warm and ready to go the best I could. But our bullpen came in and did a tremendous job. Mike was excellent, as he has been for us the latter part of the season, and obviously with Chapman coming in and getting four outs, you know, to seal the victory …
