After the game, manager Dave Roberts met with the media (via SportsNet LA).
Roberts: “It just goes back to you just got to persevere. We got a good ball club. We’ve been through this before. We win six in a row, you feel like you’ve got some traction, you’ve got some good things going, and then you get smacked in the face and you lose three.. I do think our guys are resilient, and we didn’t lay down. I like the at-bats, the fight. It just didn’t happen. This guy was really good tonight. But now we got the Tigers, who are in their last fight to the end, and you got a team that we don’t know very well. I expect us to come out and follow Tarik’s fire, which he will have tomorrow night, and feed off of that. But again, all facets of the game. We got to catch it, we got to pitch it, we got to take good at-bats, and then see what happens.”
