 Just walking into the ballpark today, was it hard not to think of the last time you were here as a team and any of those emotions competing with you today? Yeah, I mean a little bit. I mean obviously you can't help but think about the past sometimes, but obviously this is a new season, a new group of guys. And obviously our mission is to find a way to get back in this thing and play good baseball and try to get back in contention to make it to the postseason. So we've obviously got to work that out for us a long ways to go, but I thought we did a good job of staying focused tonight. We played a good game. I thought Nester did a really good job putting up zeros and giving us a chance to get the lead. And our bullpen obviously did their thing, but from time to time you can't help but think about the past. You've got to be able to, when the time comes, when the time is right, you've got to be able to block that out and focus on the task at hand, which is just this game today, these nine innings. And I thought overall we did a good job of that. Next Samaritan. Just a couple games left before the break. Just how much of a boost is tonight's win for this team considering the Astros came in playing some pretty good baseball? Yeah, I mean you're talking about one of the best teams in the American League. They have been playing well. You know, to go out to Seattle, those guys have been playing well to go out there and win the series and obviously come here and win game one. You know, we all know what's at stake. We all know where we're at and where we're at in the season. And with the break coming up and the trade deadline obviously only a few weeks away. So kind of have our backs up against the wall a little bit and just imperative to play good baseball imperative to win the series. And you know, obviously being able to take game one gives us a good chance to do it. You mentioned Nester Cortez and the job that he did. He's floated around to several roles so far for you guys this season. Just what's impressed you most about the way he's been able to find success regardless of if he's coming out of the pen or serving as a starter? Yeah, I mean when you're when you're thrown around kind of different roles like he is and maybe, you know, I think that there's obviously a lot of different ways that he can be used. But he's he's accustomed to starting. He's accustomed to going going the distance and giving us a link that I thought that, you know, no, no job, no, no moment is too big for him. He's the guy that's very, very even kill works hard always stays ready and is prepared no matter what situation is. He's he's ready to go in and give us his best. So I thought he did a really good job of keeping those guys off balance today early in the game. And that's a really good lineup over there. He he managed to he managed to go through them pretty easily a couple times and really I thought gave us gave us a really, really good boost there early in the game to be able to jump out to a lead and hold on to it. Can you take us through the the bat that led to the two run single that gave you guys the lead. Yeah, I mean, you know, my first step that similar situation I think with with with with with guys on base, you know, coming up in kind of a big spot and flying out the center field and think it was the fourth inning maybe coming back up again and those guys again doing a great job of having good at bats ahead of me and getting on base and give me an opportunity to drive them in and just, you know, I think you threw me several splits down and I think I fell one off early in the count and took a couple and ran the count to full and got a good pitch to hit obviously and just fortunate to have found a little grass in the outfield full count. So Gio was on first running obviously on the pitch and, you know, it was nice to give us a boost and take the lead there and I said the way Nester was pitching. We just wanted to get one or two and let him settle in so it was nice to be able to come through there for the team. Do you think that double is something you can build off of to turn the corner offensively. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I've been I've been feeling much better, you know, physically than than the numbers show, just continuing to work and continuing to try to find ways to produce and help the team obviously and, you know, this is a tough game. It's a frustrating game and nobody knows that any better than me. You know, it's one of those things that when things aren't going good, they just continue to they seem to continue to pile on and sometimes you you're not sure if you'll find your way out of it or not. But yeah, I mean, I feel good at the plate. I'm seeing the ball. Well, I feel good about my work and hopefully, you know, hopefully, you know, that is the that is the one that kind of sparks things and get things going in the right direction for me. Because obviously, you know, these are important games against good opponents and very important for us to fit it strong before the break.
