Houston Astros' first baseman Yuli Gurriel will not be suspended for any games in the World Series but will be suspended for five games next season, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Saturday.
After hitting a home run in the second inning of Friday's Game 3 off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish, Gurriel returned to the Astros dugout, where he used his fingers to motion at his own eyes in a mocking gesture and appeared to mouth a derogatory term in Spanish.
Speaking through an interpreter after the game, Gurriel said he made the gesture because he hasn't had success in the past against Japanese pitchers.
