A massive comeback fueled by home runs from Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. helped the Yankees avoid elimination and force a Game 4 with a 9-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at home Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Judge led the charge with a dominant Game 3 performance, going 3-of-4 with four RBI and one home run. Chisholm Jr. added a home run of his own, going 1-of-3 at the plate with one RBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eight of the 12 batters in the lineup recorded hits as the Yankees’ offense caught fire. Ben Rice contributed a RBI, Giancarlo Stanton drove in two RBI and Adam Wells went 2-of-4 with one RBI.<\/p>\n
Fans praised Judge and Chisholm Jr. for their clutch, game-changing home runs that kept the Yankees’ postseason hopes alive and forced a Game 4 in the ALDS.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays appeared to have run away with the series sweep early, quickly getting out to a 6-1 lead at the middle of the third inning with no signs of slowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That is until Judge stepped in, notching an RBI in the third and a three-run home run off the foul pole in the bottom of the fourth to tie it up at six a piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chisholm Jr. followed Judge in the bottom of the fifth with another home run, a 409 foot bomb to take the lead and open the door for the Yankees the rest of the way as Toronto’s defensive woes kept building.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays’ pitching staff struggled Tuesday as ace Shane Bieber lasted just 2 2\/3 innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Relievers Mason Fluharty surrendered one earned run on 19 pitches, Louis Varland allowed two, Braydon Fisher gave up one, and Brendon Little added another as Toronto’s bullpen faltered.<\/p>\n
The winner of the ALDS between the No. 4 New York Yankees and No. 1 Toronto Blue Jays will advance to face the winner of the series between the\u00a0 No. 2 Mariners and No. 6 Tigers in the American League Championship Series.<\/p>\n
The Yankees and Blue Jays will stay in New York for Game 4 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A massive comeback fueled by home runs from Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. helped the Yankees avoid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-208297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
