According to MLB, the Rangers manager, Bruce Bochy, said, "A great job from him,"
"He’s not expanding [the zone]. … He’s getting on base. That’s what you"re trying to do: Get guys on base, put pressure on them."
Mitch Garver, his teammate also shared his thoughts and said, "He’s being really stubborn with pitches he likes to swing at,"
"We know he likes to swing the bat. I think it was his fifth at-bat and he chased a 2-0 heater that was above his eyes. So, I think at that point he kind of wanted to hit. Really, really impressive being able to set the stage like that."
The history creator also shared his thoughts on his historic moment and expressed, "I don’t think it was anything different,"
"I just think we were trying to grind out pitches, and it just kind of happened, you know?"
