Postgame clubhouse reaction

Manager Terry Francona on David Ortiz's grand slam:

"That was well struck, and the timing wasn't bad, either. That one swing changed the complexion of the ballgame."

Ortiz on his grand slam:

“I don’t like to talk about my homersm, but that was a pretty good one.”

Ortiz on playing through aches and pains:

“I’m just trying to hang tight and help this ballclub. I know they count on me and I don’t think it’s fair to shut things down when other people would like to. It would only get worse if I’m out of the lineup, so I’m just trying to do what the trainers tell me through the season and I fight back [the pain] when I go out there to play.”
