Astros' Lance Mccullers Denies Tipping Pitches: 'I Got Whupped. End of Story.'

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. had a day to forget Tuesday during Game 3 of the World Series.

"I'm not gonna sit here and say anything like that," he told reporters when asked if he was tipping pitches during the 7-0 loss. "I got whupped. End of story."

McCullers became the first pitcher in MLB history to give up five home runs in one playoff game, and there was plenty of speculation that he was tipping his pitches when Bryce Harper launched a long ball and was then seen telling Alec Bohm something ahead of the latter's at-bat.
