LOS ANGELES (AP) — A flight delay caused Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to arrive late for the team’s workout Sunday ahead of World Series Game 3.

Roberts said he reached Dodger Stadium at about 5 p.m.

“There was some delays. I don’t know if there was intent or not,” he said. “But, man, the international stuff was a bear. But we made it. We made it.”

Roberts said some of the delay was spent sitting on the tarmac.

A day later, Roberts said he didn’t mean to have alleged bad motives.

“I shouldn’t have said intent,” he explained Monday. “I love Canada. I made the mistake of saying intent. It was a long day, a long trip. I’m very grateful to be in the World Series. And I shouldn’t have said intent. It was my apologies, sincerely.”
