SAN FRANCISCO - Hunter Strickland said 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 Perez after allowing a two-run homer in the sixth inning to Omar Infante in San Francisco's 7-2 loss.
"I'm embarrassed about it," Strickland said. "I was in the moment. I took it a little too far and my emotions got to me. There's no hard feelings toward anybody. It's just what happens. I'm going to own up for what I did."
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 Narveson in 2011.
