Alex Bregman’s trademark swagger may be gone, but the 28-year-old new father is in a happier place at this stage.

Justin Verlander’s teammates gave him the rookie treatment after the game and doused him with all sorts of stuff after his first Fall Classic win.

With his team in desperate need of a victory in Game 4 of this World Series, Astros starter Cristian Javier bridged that gap in historic fashion.

If this feels like a never-ending season, well, you’re not imagining it!

The Houston Astros won Game 2 on Saturday night to send the World Series back to Philadelphia at 1-1.

J.T. Realmuto’s home run in the 10th inning lifted the Phillies over the Astros in Game 1 of the World Series.
