Quote: Knight is like ‘Good,’ not, ‘Yes.’
Last night in DC, 32-year-old Mets RHP Brandon Knight got his first major-league victory, while letting up two runs in five innings against the Nationals, who left the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
Knight, on watching the game from the 
clubhouse, and seeing seven relief pitchers trot in to lock down the win, said:
“I was thinking, ‘Is this really happening right now.’ We were all in here, all of us who pitched, just kind of taking deep breaths saying, ‘Everything’s gonna be fine.’ To get that final out, it wasn’t that, ‘Yes!,’ it was more, ‘Good.’ Get it out of the way, and get back to business tomorrow where we have Johan going, which, we feel pretty good about that.”
Knight told reporters he was sent text messages from family and friends, and former players from Somerset, the Independent League team where he started this season.
This will most likely be Knight’s final start of the season, since the five-man rotation, including Pedro Martinez and Jon Niese, should stay on turn through the end of the year.
