Gullett defers rotation call in Reds World Series bid
Cincinnati pitcher Don Gullett refused to question Sparky Anderson on the rotation ahead of a potential seventh game with Boston. He praised Anderson's decisions after a 6-2 win that gave Cincinnati a 3-2 Series edge. Gullett indicated he would assist as reliever if needed and stressed respect for his manager's judgment. He recalled a strong seven innings despite late hits, and noted his rehab from spring arm stiffness and a thumb injury earlier in the year.
