I just go out there and do what I do and try and hit my spots.

I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

To see all the fans getting into it, that's pretty special.

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

In order for you to win a game, a lot of things have to go right. Your team has to win. Your team has to perform. When you talk about striking out people or ERA, that's personal stuff and where you show people what kind of pitcher you are.

My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.

I don't feel my best right now, but at the same time, I'm not trying to find any excuses or anything.
