HOUSTON — It was a well-struck line drive, coming off Yuli Gurriel's bat at 102 mph before striking Charlie Morton's right leg. Only Morton knows how bad it hurt, but in just the second inning of Game 1 of the World Series, and with up to six more games remaining with the relentless Houston Astros, Morton was determined to shrug it off.
He retired two more batters, returned to the dugout with a slight limp and told catcher Travis d'Arnaud, "That one got me good."
