Area that's far from a strike zone (6)

I believe the answer is:

gutter

(Other definitions for gutter that I've seen before include "Threaten to go out" , "Channel for carrying off water" , "Someone removing contents" , "Element 46; a London theatre" , "dirty channel?" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
