Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel apologized for making a racially insensitive gesture Friday night during Game 3 of the World Series and could face punishment from the MLB. "I was commenting to my family that I didn't have any luck against Japanese pitchers here in the United States." ASTROS PLAYER YULI GURRIEL APPEARS TO MAKE RACIST GESTURE MOCKING JAPANESE OPPONENTGurriel, 33, a native of Cuba, made the gesture after homering off Darvish in the second inning. “Acting like that, you just disrespect all the people around the world,” Darvish said through a translator. Texas Rangers pitcher Jake Diekman used an emoji to call the gesture trash, and outfielder Ryan Rua said "really hope that gesture from Gurriel wasn’t directed towards Yu...no place for that."
