Postgame 2 Press Conference

Mariners 10, Blue Jays 3

Q. What are some of these emotions? You've won your first game, postseason game here today, but what was the emotions like? You guys went 15 innings back home, come here and the way the bullpen performed.

EDUARD BAZARDO: Yeah, it's very emotional. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that Dan gave us. Obviously, the game in Detroit was a little long, longer than we needed to, but we're in the postseason. We're all here trying to do the most we can to win, and the end goal is to get to the World Series.

Q. Off of that, obviously Game 4 in Detroit was a tough one for the bullpen, but then to be able to come back and do what you guys have done in the three games since and be lights out since then, what does that say about this bullpen's ability and your ability personally to be able to bounce back from a situation like that and do what you're doing now?

EDUARD BAZARDO: I think the Game 4 for us was a little bit bad because early we got the game -- we won the game, but after that, Detroit was getting back to the game, the bullpen coming out a little bit down.

But for me, I feel like the bullpen, we tried to be together, like we stayed together. Like sometimes it's going to be bad, but we stayed, like, trust what we got, and that happened to the Game 5. We came pushing, we're throwing good innings, and that helped to take the lead and stay like what we are right now.

Q. What do you expect Seattle is going to be like with you guys going back up 2-0?

EDUARD BAZARDO: We need to keep working, keep getting scoreless innings. That is the most important from us to the bullpen, try to keep attacking the hitters. We feel good because we're back home and we're 2-0, but we need to still work to get two more games.
