HOUSTON (AP) – Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred doesn’t blame the baseball for all the long balls.
A World Series record eight home runs were hit in the Houston Astros’ 7-6, 11-inning win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2, including five in extra innings. That followed a regular season that featured 6,105 home runs Authentic Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , 2.4 percent more than the previous record of 5,963 set in 2000 at the height of the Steroids Era.

Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel was quoted as saying after Game 2: ”Obviously, the balls are juiced.”

The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking a chance on Marcell Dareus, hoping he can solidify the team’s most glaring defensive deficiency.
