It was a strange sight to see for Houston Astros fans this week as the Astros were not involved in the 2025 MLB playoff picture, but Alex Bregman was at the center of the series for the Boston Red Sox in the American League Wild Card series. During his run with the Astros, Bregman never lost an elimination game against the Yankees, which placed him in strange territory on Thursday after Boston was bounced by their hated rival.
The Red Sox were shut out by the Yankees on Thursday, ending their playoff run that was propped up by two ten-game winning streaks.
