“I didn’t have any walks today because I had that plan, that focus, and I wanted to go into the game, I wanted to attack,” McCullers said. “Any time you can avoid having men on base just in general, it’s important. A lot of leverage counts, 1-2, 2-2 counts, where I could have gone for the strikeout or things of that nature, but I was trying to just throw good pitches for weak contact, keep the pitch count low, try to go deep into the game and give us the best chance.”
