(He) couldn&#8217;t really get to the secondary stuff. There were moments where he was exploiting the top bar of that strike zone, got some swing and miss.

We had the right guys in the right spot, but this game is tough. It just goes to show you that there&#8217;s no perfect science to delivering a blow. But it&#8217;s one game. We just got to digest it and come back at it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Quick Hits<\/h3>\n<p>Frias and Ginkel each pitched multiple innings, with Frias going 2 1\/3 and Ginkel tossing two.
