News about Alex Bregman

On Thursday night, the Cardinals suffered a 14-0 loss at the Houston Astros' hands, and one of their young fans demonstrated more offensive play than the players on the field. A foul ball was struck down the first baseline and into the stands in the seventh inning. It was heading straight into a crowd of fans with one young spectator standing directly in the direction of the ball in the hopes of catching the ball. However, it slipped right across his fingers and seemed to be about to thump him on the nose.

Alex Bregman's third grand slam this season, right fielder Kyle Tucker homered and drove in five runs, and the Houston Astros defeated Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals 14-0 in a one-sided victory on Thursday. Houston had 18 hits, their most since Sept. 10, 2019, against the Oakland A's. Three hits followed Bregman, Yainer Diaz, and Corey Julks. You've got to have the attitude that, hey, every run could be the one that determines the final run in that match,' Astros manager Dusty Baker said. "You know, you don't want to show them up or shame them, but you also want yours."

Liam Hendricks returned to the majors after winning the White Sox's bizarre victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Yoán Moncada scampered home on a 10th-inning wild pitch that knocked out umpire Cory Blaser, bringing the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 victory. Hendriks pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning in his second game of the season after recovering from stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The Astros won 3-2 in Game 5 to return home with the World Series's best record and just one game away from clinching the championship. A fan wearing a red and blue Chase Utley jersey went out onto the field and disrupted play during the sixth inning. He raced across the track and managed to evade security forces who followed him until he hit a wall.

The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 in Game Four and even the series, with just the second no-hitter in World Series history on Wednesday. Cristian Javier, a starter, went six innings and struck out nine, Bryan Abrams in the seventh, Rafael Montero threw a flawless eighth, and Ryan Pressley closed out the third no-hitter in MLB postseason history. After third baseman Alex Bregman fielded a difficult ground ball to win, Javier rushed to the mound and lifted Pressly in the air in celebration.

In Game 2 of the World Series, Framber Valdez was shutting down into the seventh inning and Alex Bregman slugged a two-run home run. With Game 3 set for Monday in Philadelphia, the Astros squared the best-of-seven series at 1-1. Valdez (2-0) labored a little over his first three innings, found his rhythm in the fourth and fifth innings, and posted the most outs of the game as Philadelphia attempted to mount a rally in the sixth.

As a result of an ALCS sweep to the Houston Astros on Sunday night, the New York Yankees were ruled out of the playoffs. The Houston Astros advanced to the World Series for the fourth time in the AL Championship Series, with a 6-5 win over New York aided by another defensive gaffe from the Yankees. The Astros won their second consecutive pennant and fourth in six years thanks to a costly mistake made by second baseman Gleyber Torres in the seventh inning.

Alex Bregman ran home runs early, Framber Valdez pitched seven strong innings, and the Houston Astros defeated the New York Yankees 3-2 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. Aaron Judge had just missed a two-run homer in the eighth when he was trapped right behind the short wall by right fielder Kyle Tucker. According to Statcast, the ball would have landed in the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium - with the roof open at Minute Maid Park. Valdez put on another good pitching show in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series, with Justin Verlander fanned 11 in a 4-2 victory, and Bregman's third-inning homer was all the offense Houston needed. This postseason, the Astros improved to 5-0.

One by one, the villains are leaving the stage, but the performance continues on. Just five players remain of the most hated baseball team since Shoeless Joe's Black Sox of 1919. Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yuli Gurriel, Lance McCullers Jr., and Justin Verlander are the last surviving parts of the 2017 Houston Astros, the team that defeated it all without having to give their all. The squad that used cameras and a trash can to cheat their way into the 2017 play-offs, overcoming the sport's three most popular names - Boston, New York, and Los Angeles - en route to a championship. When the program was announced in 2019, it lost Houston's chief (AJ Hinch), general manager (Jeff Luhnow), and the city's only World Series victory.
