in a long, long time.
It wasn't the best played.
It wasn't perfect.
The twins are really, really good ball club.
They have great pitching.
Their offense is very aggressive, very capable, and that's why they're in position they're in.
Murph talked about what the win means.
We're banged up as a team can be, and we're going into a seven game stretch against two of the best teams in the National League.
That's just the way it is on the road.
Maybe we'll come together even more.
I don't know.
But it's been, you know, this win today was really, really solidified in my mind.
What a great bunch we have.
And what about the Brewers and how they've done in close games?
I like 10-0 way better.
15 strikeout shutouts better.
But the end result when you stick with it this way is just so rewarding, you know.
So rewarding because the team got to reveal themselves today a little bit.
And we haven't been great and we never tried to be great, but we won because that's what we do.
