Quotables

You've got to keep the ball in the ballpark. We didn't do a very good job of that tonight. Three home runs sunk us.

You suck it up. You want to -- and you expect to -- win that game. Carter got the home run on us, and they had the last at-bat.

- Kirk Gibson

He put a pretty good swing on it. You just have to tip your hat to him. There's nothing else to say.

- J.J. Putz

I saw it off the bat, paused for a second, thought it was going to fall in there. I didn't think there was any chance he was going to catch it, but he did. He made an unbelievable play.

- Paul Goldschmidt
