LOS ANGELES — Yu Darvish patiently explained Tuesday why he declined Yuli Gurriel's offer to personally and privately apologize to him over the weekend in Houston.
Wouldn't you know it. The way this crazy and thrilling World Series finally will play out, they instead will meet again and very, very publicly here on Wednesday night.
In the biggest start of his life, Darvish, who came up small in a Game 3 bludgeoning, now has a golden chance at redemption when the Los Angeles hands him the ball for Game 7.
Darvish appeared at the podium in the press room Tuesday roughly four hours before the Dodgers ambushed Houston and Justin Verlander 3-1 to steal what might have been the Astros' last, best hope to win what has turned into one of the most classic World Series' in years.
