“We’ve been playing great ball lately. I mean, our pitching staff’s done a great job all year, and they did another great job here today in the series. Our offense has just done a really good job overall, really great at batting, just keeping the line moving, leaving it up to the next guy, and just trying to put as much pressure on the opposing pitching staff. So we just continue to do that, playing good baseball, we’ll be all right,” Tucker said in the postgame interview with David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.
