From Bryan Hoch:
The Yankees spent the early portion of Tuesday’s Game 3 of the American League Division Series staring into a winter abyss: down by five runs, the crowd restless, another October disappointment seemingly taking shape in real time.
Aaron Judge changed all of that.
Facing Louis Varland in the fourth inning, the Yankees captain authored his signature postseason moment, turning on an inside fastball and crushing a towering drive off the left-field foul pole – a game-tying three-run homer that erased what had once felt like a hopeless deficit.One inning later, Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a go-ahead solo blast, shaking Yankee Stadium as the home team surged back for a stunning 9-6 victory over the Blue Jays. With their season on the line, the Yankees didn’t just fight off elimination: They may have seized momentum.
Oh come the fuck on about momentum. Just be happy that they’re not eliminated, because Aaron fucking Judge is amazing.
They probably still get eliminated tonight, but for a night, at least, we got to have some fun.
