David Ortiz on Manny Ramirez's 481-foot homer:
"That ball was (expletive) crushed."
Red Sox manager Terry Francona on Wily Mo Pena's 4-for-5 night:
“I think everybody is happy for him. He swung the bat really, really well and gave us big boosts. That’s what he can do. I think he saw six pitches, swung at all of them and hit four of them right on the button. It was fun to watch.”
Pena on his performance:
“The last couple of games I was struggling. I wasn’t getting any hits, so I just said to myself go in there and do the best that I can. I’ve been working hard and everything is coming back. I felt my confidence tonight. I was just looking for a good pitch to hit. It was good to go 4-for-5 in one game; I’ve been looking for that.”
Pena on Manny's homer:
“That homer he hit to center field was unbelievable. I can hit one that far one day. I’ll just have to wait.”
Kason Gabbard on his outing:
In the fifth “I was trying to be too perfect with everything.I got out of sync a little bit. Honestly to me it’s kind of embarrassing to have a 9-1 lead and have all that happen, especially not being able to finish. I just try to go out there and do my best every time and now I’m looking forward to my next start.”
