Jalen, we saw you pre-game, but another productive day for you against the Reds.
What has continued to allow you to be so successful against this group?
I mean, just trusting everything that I do before the game.
Not trying to be someone I'm not, just, know my role and, just try to execute.
An RBI single for you in the seventh to make it a 4-1 lead.
What'd you see in that at bat?
I mean, obviously he was a good left-hand pitcher.
Just try to see the ball up and, just stay through the middle, and I did that.
You're at the end now of a 17-day stretch without an off day.
Yeah.
What are you most proud of about how you finished that stretch?
You know, the 17-game stretch, it was a lot of ups and downs, for us as a team.
But for us to come back to our home field and sweep the Reds, I mean, it's a good start.
Now we gotta take care of the Cubs.
To have the series sweep at the end of that 17 days, what does that say about this team and the resilience?
We're never out of it.
We're always fighting.
We got a lot of grit.
Got a lot of hard workers and, you know, we just trust and believe in each other.
And, yeah, I mean, people need to stop doubting us.
Thanks so much.
Congrats on the win.
Appreciate you.
