It was a wild game, yeah.
That, you know, for our guys, some of our young guys haven't been here before.
When the wind's blowing out, things can get, a little bit crazy.
It looked like every ball that was hit hard in the air, you know, had a chance.
We jump out, they come back, game's never over.
Even all the way at the end with Bregman 3-0 count, to come away with a win is a, is a big character win for us.
For Kenley to be in that situation, bases loaded- Yeah down three-nothing, to have to fight back and did a huge job helping the team.
Yeah, I mean, he's been in, he's been in, you know, the later innings his whole career, so I, I know he has the heartbeat for it.
It's just the execution.
Could he collect himself?
It's also a high, high-volume, you know, pitch count for him.
He, he's pretty efficient most nights.
And so, just being able to collect himself, I thought he did a really good job of just going one pitch at a time, which very much a clich it's supposed to be.
But I, I think his, his heartbeat allowed for him to, to stay under control and just execute when he needed to the most.
