Intro:

Post-game reaction after the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 7-3 in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) on Wednesday (16 October) at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) John Farrell, Boston Red Sox Manager

"Well we had 12 hits tonight. And you leave ten men on base. The one thing when we've been in stretches like this, we continually do a very good job of creating opportunities. We did that tonight. We haven't done it so much in the first three games. But that's a tip of the hat to the pitching that we've been facing. But the one thing that we've maintained is a constant approach with the lineup and not creating further uncertainty. And I think our guys have responded well to that. So I thought overall it was a very good offensive approach tonight, unfortunately two out base hit was elusive and any kind of extra base hit with men on base."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Leyland, Detroit Tigers Manager

"I thought that the biggest thing was to move (Austin) Jackson out of the leadoff spot. And then work around that, however I felt would be the best way to do it. And this is what I come up with and Torii Hunter had some success against (Jake) Peavy. So I thought that's a good leadoff guy for tonight. He's tough, you know, he's going to grind it. And not that (Austin) Jackson doesn't, he's just been struggling. But he came out a little bit tonight. He hit the ball hard a couple of times, really hard. So I was thrilled with it. I didn't want to turn it (the lineup) into a circus. I just wanted to tweak it a little bit. And I just felt like that was the best way to tweak it."
