Perdomo shared, "I was trying to find a good pitch,"
"Thanks to God, I was able to find that pitch, get good contact, hit a home run and get the party started."
Marte also expressed his thoughts after the amazing win and said, "It was crazy,"
"We just go out there and have fun. When you have fun, everything is going to be good. We got a great team and we have a lot of [fun]. That"s not surprising."
Lovullo further shared, "As far as the power goes, I"ve never seen something like that before. It was almost unbelievable, right?"
"And who hits a home run foul and on the next pitch hits a home run fair? Never happens; you usually strike out. Goes all the way back to Little League. It happened every time. That"s the quality of hitter we have."
"I think for the early parts of the season probably until a little bit after the All-Star break, this team was having quality at-bats,"
"They were doing their job and handing it off. That"s why we were in the position we were in."
