HOUSTON - After homering off the Dodgers' Yu Darvish to kick off the scoring in Game 3 of the World Series at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Astros infielder Yuli Gurriel appeared to mock Darvish with a racially motivated gesture in the dugout:

Gurriel, a Cuban-born player who joined the Astros after defecting last year, spent part of 2014 playing for the Yokohama Bay Stars in Japan. Darvish is of Iranian and Japanese descent and was born in Osaka, Japan.

Gurriel will have a chance to attempt to explain himself after the game, but there aren't many other ways to interpret what he got caught doing on camera.
