Aaron Judge’s Heroics Force Game 4 as Yankees Rally Past Blue Jays in ALDS
NEW YORK – Aaron Judge delivered a monumental performance Tuesday night, single-handedly rescuing the New York Yankees from elimination and forcing a Game 4 in their American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge’s clutch hitting and all-around brilliance fueled a dramatic 9-6 comeback victory, staving off a three-game sweep.
The Yankees captain hit a crucial tying homer and drove in four runs, showcasing an “MVP-like performance,” according to manager Aaron Boone. Judge went 3 for 4, scoring three times, and made pivotal plays defensively and on the bases, igniting chants of “MVP! MVP!” from the sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium.
Trailing by five runs early, New York orchestrated an eight-run unanswered rally, culminating in the franchise’s largest comeback ever in an elimination game. The win pushes the best-of-five series to Game 4, scheduled for Wednesday night in the Bronx, with the Yankees now 3-0 in elimination games this postseason.
Judge’s incredible form continued, making him 7 for 11 in the series. His three-run blast in the fourth inning, off a 100 mph fastball, was a highlight, described by Blue Jays manager John Schneider as a “ridiculous swing.” This pivotal victory ensures the Yankees’ postseason journey continues, thanks largely to their captain’s heroics.
