Hill: Gurriel 'wouldn't have a job the next day' in any other business

Rich Hill let the fans do the talking - or booing, in this case - during Yuli Gurriel's first two at-bats at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday. Afterward, the Los Angeles Dodgers southpaw had more to say about the fact the Houston Astros first baseman escaped a playoff suspension for his racist gesture in Game 3.

"I think, if you're in any other type of business and you do something like that, you wouldn't have a job the next day," Hill said, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.

Gurriel did receive a five-game suspension for the gesture he made in the dugout after hitting a home run off Los Angeles starter Yu Darvish, but he'll serve it at the beginning of the 2018 regular season.

In Gurriel's first plate appearance, Hill stepped off the mound before delivering his first pitch and took his time between pitches, making sure his opponent got the message.

"I think the one thing was just to let the crowd speak their mind," Hill added. "I didn't think anything else would be as loud as that. The people spoke. I left it to that, and that was it.

"That was the best way to go about it, not hitting him or doing anything like that, but making sure that things like this shouldn’t happen. ... It's something that was just and understandable, from every Dodger fan, and not only Dodger fans, but people all over the world."

Hill did his job in Game 6, throwing 4 2/3 innings on only 58 pitches, allowing one run and striking out five.

Darvish will start Game 7 for the Dodgers.
