"He grinds — it's the one thing, the kind of pitcher he is. Kind of battle it out with the other team; kind of keep them off balance. Going back and forth with his changeup and spotting his fastball, so sometimes it looks like a grind, but that's just the way he pitches. He has a lot of guts when he goes out there." - Ventura, Robin. Rios leads White Sox to sweep of Mariners. Liebeskind, Josh. MLB Staff Writer. 22 April 2012.
