Postgame 4 Press Conference

Braves - 5, Brewers - 4

Q. How important was it to answer after they took the lead both in the back-to-back innings, to keep the momentum from not getting away from you guys?

EDDIE ROSARIO: It was a big moment, for sure. You could tell the team is hungry to take the next step and keep advancing and progressing.

Q. You've played with some great players. Where does Freddie Freeman rank up there? Is he one of the best players you've played with as far as a clutch hitter, particularly?

EDDIE ROSARIO: He's an awesome player when I see him, when I play with a teammate, Joe Mauer, he has the same approach, but he's more strong. He's hitting to everybody, left field, righty. He's awesome to see him. I try to learn from him.

Q. How tough is the left-on-left at-bat against Hader and how impressive is it that Freddie did it with that pitch?

EDDIE ROSARIO: It's very special to get a hit off Hader first. It looked good. He didn't strike out. I think it's a big moment for Freddie, everybody want to homer or big bat. He doing a good job. He wants to win. I want to win too.

Q. How impressed were you with just the totality of what the pitching was able to do in this series holding him to six runs in four games?

EDDIE ROSARIO: They're doing a very good job. Really awesome. The jobs on the two lefties, everybody is doing a good job.

Q. [Spanish].

EDDIE ROSARIO: I'm so happy to win three games. Before in the playoff, I never win, I don't know how I feel that, but I feel great.

Q. Does it feel like you've revived your career for those who might not be familiar with you over here and then -- might have written you off, and you come over here and show that you're a clutch hitter again like you had that reputation before?

EDDIE ROSARIO: I think it's the moment I love it. All the time I focus more. I got more smart when I go to that play. I don't try too much. I try to sometimes when I see a man on second base, I try to hit a base hit, not a homer. I think it's my key to doing a good job in the big moment. I no panic. I love it.
