Alex Verdugo made his World Series debut on Friday and it was an eventful night for the former Boston Red Sox outfielder.

Verdugo had the web gem of the night when he made a diving catch in the bottom of the 10th inning. The 28-year-old dove into the stands while retrieving Shohei Ohtani’s foul ball and threw the ball outside the diamond, which was certainly an interesting tactic. It would have been a highlight in New York Yankees history, but after Nestor Cortes intentionally walked Mookie Betts, he gave up a walk-off grand slam to Freddie Freeman.

The epic moment gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the 2024 World Series, and while it eliminated a highlight from Verdugo, the outfielder also had his lows.

Verdguo’s night got off to a terrible start when he misplayed a ball to left field, turning what should have been a Freeman single into a triple for the Dodgers first baseman. What made the blunder even worse or hilarious, depending on your interest, was that Verdugo blew a bubble while playing the ball.

The eighth-year outfielder got a chance for his own hero moment in the sixth inning. Verdugo was at the plate with two outs and the bases loaded. But in a move that Red Sox fans may be familiar with, Verdugo chased down a fastball from Anthony Banda and struck out to end the inning.

New York was able to relive the wild Verdugo ride as it tried to tie the World Series on Saturday.
