I heard a post-game interview with Leyland where he was asked that, and all he said to Robertson was "to basically ignore the runners on base and just make your pitches. If you try to pitch too carefully, you'll give up the big inning, but if you just concentrate on the hitters, the worst that could happen is two runs score, and we're still ahead."
Sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
