Intro:

Post-game reaction after the Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics 8-6 in Game 4 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) on Tuesday (8th October) at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Leyland, Detroit Tigers Manager
"You know, we just kept battling away and battling away and we finally got a couple of huge hits. (Omar) Infante got a huge hit. Alex (Avila) got a huge walk. They walked Alex (Avila), which was the kiss of death. They had a lefthander on a lefthander and that really set up the rest of the inning. This is really a good series. I mean, I'm sure the Commissioner (Bud Selig) is happy it's going five, so we'll see what happens. We're going back to Oakland and find out what happens."

SOUNDBITE (English) Victor Martinez, Detroit Tigers Designated Hitter
"We just do it like we have been doing it all season long. We end up winning a pretty good ballgame and it's over, turn the page. We thinking go to Oakland now and play another game. We all know that it's a tough place to play, but like I say, we have been doing a great job all season long just turning the page and go to the next day and play a brand new ballgame and see what happens."

SOUNDBITE Austin Jackson (English) Detroit Tigers Centerfielder
"It's going to be fun (Game 5). This is what you play the full season for and you grind throughout 162 games. And you just dream to be in this position. We've had our backs against the wall before. We went to Oakland last year and just playing in that atmosphere, the crowd is going to be into it, it just brings out the best in a team. So, we're looking forward to it. We're going to be pumped up and we know they're going to be pumped up as well. So it's going to be a good game."
