The postseason has not changed Didi Gregorius’ fortunes.
The slumping shortstop entered Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday night mired in a 2-for-22 funk and showed no signs of getting out of it in the Yankees’ 10-4 victory in The Bronx.
Aaron Boone went into the game believing the playoff intensity and atmosphere would benefit Gregorius.
“I just feel like he’s one of those guys that the bigger the stage, the brighter the lights, I feel like he thrives in that,’’ the manager said before the game. “I feel like he’s been healthy now for a while and I feel like he’s a guy that [if he] has a good at-bat or two here, I think that’s something that can really propel him moving forward.
