SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Hunter Strickland says he is embarrassed by the way he handled himself in Game 2 of the World Series after allowing yet another postseason home run.
Strickland caused the benches to clear Wednesday night when he shouted at Kansas City’s Salvador after allowing a two-run homer in the sixth inning to Omar Infante in San Francisco’s 7-2 loss.
Strickland first shouted at himself, which caught the attention of Perez, who was going home from second base and shouted back. That led Strickland to yell back at Perez and the benches to clear.
The homer was the fifth given up this postseason by Strickland. That ties the record for the most allowed by a reliever in a single postseason, set by Milwaukee’s Chris Naverson in 2011.
