"Definitely seemed to be a contagious lineup," Civale said. "They see one guy put a ball in play and land and next guy seems to follow suit. At the end of the day, just have to execute some pitches a little bit better and be better in those situations. "Felt like we were attacking pretty good. But it happened quick. Have to be better there."
