Schneider wants to use Romano with the accustomed adrenaline generated by entering a save situation, but needed to bring him into a game just to keep him sharp.
"It's a close ballgame and I really wanted to just keep the score at what it was, right?" said Romano. "It's a one-run game and you know with our guys coming up to bat in the ninth, that is well within reach. So I just got into those good counts and see what happens. It was five days off, and I don't like to go more than that, That's just what I'm trying to do when I get out there," Romano said. "It's ‘attack the zone and get in good counts.' And today worked out, so the plan was executed." - Romano
