SOUNDBITE (English): Daniel Murphy, New York Mets second baseman:

"Fortunately, we played well today. I think starting with this guy here. He threw the ball so well. It was cooler to see from second base because he kind of started with the changeup on the secondary pitch, and then the second and third times through he's going to the breaking ball. So he did a great job, I think, keeping them off balance. (Travis) D'Arnaud hit one in the apple; I've never seen that before. I've been here for like I don't know. We've been in this stadium since 2009. I've never seen someone drop it in the apple like that. That was a great at bat. Let us extend the lead. Juan Lagares stealing that base there, and then Grandy cashing him in. Grandy (Curtis Granderson) with another big swing, big two out hit and then to cash him in. So good team effort. I thought we played some good defense too, but Matt definitely kept the traffic to a minimum on the basepaths tonight."

SOUNDBITE (English): Terry Collins, New York Mets manager:

"I think everything that we're doing right now, we're playing pretty good baseball. And, believe me, when I say this, that adage in baseball that good pitching beats good hitting. We've got some pretty good hitters. But I'm going to tell you something, when you face what we've been facing lately, you're not going to get a lot of hits. I don't care what anybody says about grinding out at-bats. These guys are used to people trying to grind out at-bats against them, and they keep pitching three-hitters. So what we've just got to do is continue to stay the course, and try to make them work a little harder and try to get something decent to hit. But it's not easy. I mean, it looks easy because they're great players, but it's not easy hitting these guys."
