Freddie Freeman followed with a double, and Kemp came to the plate with runners at second and third with nobody out.I was feeling very good, Suarez said. Then in the fourth it was one pitch and he put a good swing on it as he lifted it up. I threw a fastball. It was supposed to be outside and it wasnt.
