Julio Urias faced 184 batters at Dodger Stadium without ceding a homer. The 185th, Fil-Am Addison Russell, changed that.
Los Angeles, CA - Addison Russell homered in the 4th inning of the NLCS Game 4 with a man on 3rd and one out. The Filipino American shortstop drilled the 2-0 pitch 401 feet to centerfield after going hitless in his last 17 at bats to extend the Cubs' lead to 4-0. The Chicago Cubs went on to win 10-2.

As Addison Russell tweeted back in 2012 (when he was drafted by the Oakland Athletics and played for the Arizona League Athletics), he is half Black, half Filipino.
