Leyland Takes 'Responsibility' For Grand Slam 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:42 am

Jim Leyland regrets not telling Joaquin Benoit to pitch carefully to David Ortiz, whose grand slam in the eighth inning Sunday night tied Game 2 at 5-5.


"I made a mistake that I take full responsibility for," Leyland said. "I should've reminded [Benoit] that we didn't want to Ortiz to beat us."


The Red Sox would go on to win in the bottom of the ninth and tie the ALCS at a game apiece.
