BREAKING: Aaron Judge Powers Yankees with Game-Tying Home Run in ALDS Game 3
In a crucial ALDS Game 3 showdown against the Blue Jays, Aaron Judge delivered a much-awaited playoff moment for the Yankees with a game-tying three-run home run that ignited the crowd at Yankee Stadium. The star outfielder’s blast off the left field pole erased an early 6-1 deficit, showcasing his clutch performance when it mattered most.
This pivotal home run marked Judge’s first long ball of the 2025 postseason and his sixth career homer in elimination games, tying him with the legendary David Ortiz for the most in history. Despite previous criticisms about his postseason impact, Judge has silenced the doubters this year by hitting an impressive 10 for 19 in New York’s playoff run.
The Yankees, trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five series, found themselves in familiar territory as the Blue Jays once again troubled their starting pitching. Carlos Rodón struggled, giving up six runs in a mere seven outs, adding to the pitching woes that have plagued New York throughout the series. With starters like Luis Gil and Max Fried also faltering, the Yankees have been forced to play catch-up in every game.
Following Judge’s heroics, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Austin Wells extended the lead, propelling the Yankees to an 8-6 advantage, their first lead of the series. The momentum shift has injected new hope into the team and their fans as they look to bounce back and stay alive in the postseason.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Yankees fight to keep their playoff dreams alive against a resilient Blue Jays squad.
