“He just wasn’t as crisp as he has been,” Roberts said. “I thought he was fighting himself. He couldn’t really find a rhythm. … After the second inning, I felt that he was more agitated, and you could see his frustration with that. There’s an intensity with him every time he takes the mound, but I think that agitation isn’t typical for him.”
