Alex Bregman's monster home run gave the Houston Astros a three-run lead over the New York Yankees. Bregman has been one of the best home run hitters in the postseason in history, and this home run set a record. It was Bregman's fourteenth postseason home run, the most by a second baseman in MLB history. As an added bonus, it came at the perfect time.This is a critical game in the series, given how difficult a two-game deficit would be to overcome against the Astros. The New York Yankees have played okay on the road in Houston, but have yet to do enough to come away with the win. This home run shot puts them at a huge disadvantage. The Houston Astros posted a clip of the no-doubter home run hit to Twitter.

Having one of the most clutch playoff performers in recent memory perform at a high level nearly every game is huge for their chances of winning. even though it has become the norm, they still took the time to celebrate their star second baseman.

With an empty base at second, they would have been intentionally loading the bases, but it may have been worth it. Giving a player the level of Bregman is always a risk that has to be managed. call my friend a nimrod@rdotgordonYou should’ve walked him twitter.com/astros/status/…Houston Astros@astrosWhen Boosie starts playing, you best not miss.47231289When Boosie starts playing, you best not miss. https://t.co/v6R2QPTeaoYou should’ve walked him twitter.com/astros/status/…Ruby’s Takes@RubyTakes@astros SHOULDA WALKED HIM@astros SHOULDA WALKED HIMTee Pain@TJVela53B-R-E-G-M-A-N B-A-D-A-Z-Z, that’s him twitter.com/astros/status/…Houston Astros@astrosWhen Boosie starts playing, you best not miss.47321290When Boosie starts playing, you best not miss. https://t.co/v6R2QPTeaoB-R-E-G-M-A-N B-A-D-A-Z-Z, that’s him 😩 twitter.com/astros/status/…Luis Severino played well overall in his time on the mound, but this home run was the glaring exception.

If the Houston Astros' other stars were to go as cold as Altuve has been this playoffs, they would be in serious trouble. Alex Bregman's three-run homer forces the Yankees to play from behind. This a situation no team wants to be in, especially in the postseason.
