Morrow convinced Roberts he could pitch, in a decision Morrow would later describe as “selfish.” The Astros pilloried Morrow for his confidence. The Dodgers and Astros face off in Houston with the World Series tied at 2-2. Kershaw coughed them up in a fourth-inning flurry that ended in a three-run homer by first baseman Yuli Gurriel.

His three-run homer landed on a porch overhanging the 404-foot sign in center field.
