During the game, it appeared that the third baseman decided to make a major grooming change between the 2nd inning, where he appeared with a mustache and the 4th inning, where he was clean-shaven. In an interview with the [_Houston Chronicle_](https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Astros-Alex-Bregman-shaves-his-mustache-13021977.php), Bregman was fairly laconic when it came to talking about his surprise facial hair switch-up during the game, merely stating that “I just shaved it.” See Bregman’s before and after photos below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5321014/houston-astros-alex-bregman-shaves-mustache/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5321014/houston-astros-alex-bregman-shaves-mustache/"},"headline":"Baseball Player Shaves Mustache Off During the Game Because Grooming Decisions Wait For No One","datePublished":"2018-06-25T15:58:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:30.853Z","description":"Talk about multitasking","url":"https://time.com/5321014/houston-astros-alex-bregman-shaves-mustache/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e9a60d421e1bf78/698933c3ab6d7742f66b3056/alex-bregman-shaves-moustache-during-game.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e9a60d421e1bf78/698933c3ab6d7742f66b3056/alex-bregman-shaves-moustache-during-game.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"MLB: JUN 23 Royals at Astros","caption":"MLB: JUN 23 Royals at Astros","creditText":"Icon Sportswire—Icon Sportswire via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5321014/houston-astros-alex-bregman-shaves-mustache/","name":"Baseball Player Shaves Mustache Off During the Game Because Grooming Decisions Wait For No One"}}]}] ```
