Kyle Schwarber on Houston Astros' combined no-hitter: "I really don't give a s***"
Philadelphia Phillies All-Star Kyle Schwarber is known as a gritty competitor. The slugger went 0-for-3 with a walk in Game 4 of the World Series, wherein the Houston Astros pitching crew threw a combined no-hitter at Citizens Bank Park. It was just the second-ever World Series no-hitter and the second postseason no-hitter at Citizens Bank Park.
Upon being asked how he felt about Houston blanking his team, Schwarber replied in the most nonchalant way but didn't hold back with his words.
