KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Yordano Ventura found his own way to honor his close friend Oscar Taveras on Tuesday night, pitching the Kansas City Royals past the San Francisco Giants in Game 6 of the World Series. With the initials of the late Cardinals outfielder scrawled on his hat, along with "RIP" and Taveras' minor league jersey number, Ventura mowed down the hot-hitting Giants. He allowed only three hits over seven innings in a 10-0 rout that forced a deciding Game 7.
