If there was ever a time for Aaron Judge to have a big at-bat, it was Tuesday night, with the Yankees facing elimination in Game 3 of the AL division series vs. the series-leading Blue Jays.<\/a> And he did just that, with one huge swing.<\/p>\n

With the Yanks down by three in the bottom of the fourth, Judge smashed a three-run homer off the left-field foul pole\u2014his first dinger of the postseason\u2014to tie the score 6\u20136 and give New York an actual fighting chance of winning the contest and living to see another game. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed with a solo home run in the fifth and New York tacked on two more, eventually winning 9\u20136 to pull within 2\u20131 in the series.<\/p>\n

Fans immediately went ballistic after Judge\u2019s homer, as the Yankees watching in the dugout threw up their hands in joy.<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge has his Playoff Moment. A game-tying three-run homer off the left-field foul pole and this game is tied, 6-6.<\/p>\n

I remember Jeter used to say there were ghosts in Yankee Stadium during those old Yankee runs. Judge on an 0-2 pitch, off the foul pole, to tie a game they trailed with their backs against the wall? First time in a long time I’ve wondered if the ghosts are back.<\/p>\n

What a phenomenal moment for Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge just went full Derek Jeter with the most Derek Jeter thing I have seen since Derek Jeter. <\/p>\n

For 6ft 7in Aaron Judge to hit THAT 99.7mph pitch in THAT location for a homer is absolutely incredible. <\/p>\n

Wow.

You can literally not play a better game tonight if you\u2019re Aaron Judge. <\/p>\n

Incredible.<\/p>\n

Saw a tweet yesterday or the day before about how Aaron Judge doesn’t have any postseason moments.pic.twitter.com\/GFS5oCOG4Z<\/a><\/p>\n

With that, Judge is now slashing .524\/.583\/.762 this postseason<\/a> and boasts a playoff-leading 11 hits, in addition to his one miraculous home run.<\/p>\n
