Head Chris Cook on Saturday's doubleheader, "Lee battled through three innings and when Alsup came in he threw great for us … Torres had a good start in game two and was making really good pitches. We made some great lays defensively, especially at third, Shin did a fantastic job at saving some hits," Cook said. "We took advantage of the opportunities they gave us with some stolen bases and some defensive mistakes we just capitalized on those when we had to," Cook said. "We're in great shape for tomorrow, Park is going game one so we hope for a quality start out of him," Cook said.
