And I think a 9 of 11 in save opportunities for Sir Anthony has been outstanding.

So right now, things are going very well.

Kansas City's coming to town.

Historically, it's been pretty tough on the Sox, so that'll be a measuring stick.

And after them, the Cubs will end this longest homestand of the year in a three-game series that

I think is going to be electric at the old ball yard.

Well, I think what's really gratifying about it is twofold, Layla.

One is he was a great guy when he wasn't a great pitcher.

He still remains a great guy, and he's been a great pitcher in the early going.

That kick change that he has refined in the last couple of years has given him a whole lot of confidence.

So when he goes out there, he really believes he's going to get it done, and more times than not, he does.

The ERA is outstanding.

Yesterday was really impressive because it seemed to me very early, and I mentioned it on the air, he really didn't have good stuff coming out of the bullpen and didn't have good stuff in the first inning.

And normally, when a younger pitcher, when a guy without a whole lot of experience goes into a ballgame and the stuff isn't good,

He usually gives up four or five runs and gets knocked out early.

That wasn't the case with Davis yesterday.

What he did was he kept getting better and eventually put together a great performance, kept the Sox in the ballgame.

Finally, they got to the bullpen and wound up winning a game that the last three years this team would have lost.

This year they're winning it, and credit Will and his staff,

with laying down a culture in spring training that doesn't allow anybody not to hustle, that makes guys have the confidence that when a bunt is in order, they're going to be able to get it down.
