“He pitched his heart out. I thought he pitched a great game. When Aaron’s going good, that’s what it is,” said Cleveland manager Terry Francona.

“In this day and age of high 90s velocity and strikeouts, he pitched to contact. I think he had 10 ground ball outs. That was really impressive,” he added.

Even Seattle manager was all praise for Civale for his great performance.

“He was rolling out there. Tough night offensively. I really do have to give credit to Civale. He was on top of his game, and that was as good as we’ve ever seen him,” said Seattle manager Scott Servais.

Meanwhile, Civale credited the entire team for his match-winning effort.

“It’s unbelievable when your whole team is involved. It’s what happens when you’re working fast, in the zone and on the same page as your catcher. Everyone’s into the game,” said Civale.
