Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said Yuli Gurriel is bracing for a hostile reception from Los Angeles Dodgers fans on Tuesday following the furore over his racist gesture against Yu Darvish. Gurriel escaped being kicked out of the World Series on Saturday after making a racist gesture about Japanese pitcher Yu during his team's victory in game three in Houston. The 33-year-old Cuban slugger went on to play a pivotal role in Sunday's epic game five win, belting a three-run homer off Clayton Kershaw to level the score at 4-4 in the fourth inning.
