Aaron Judge, Raleigh and New York Yankees
Digest more
Aaron Judge yet again did something no one else currently in baseball has accomplished to provide what is perhaps his most iconic Yankee postseason moment yet Judge’s game-tying three-run homer that helped galvanize the Yankees’ 9-6 come-from-behind win in Game 3 of the ALDS marked the first time in 2025 a player homered on a 99-mph-plus pitch out of the zone in an 0-2 count in 528 such regular season and postseason pitches,
Now, Judge is shedding the postseason monkey that has been on his back the last nine years. He went 3 for 4 with an RBI double to get the Yankees to within 6-2, and then the three-run homer to tie Game 3. The big night improved him to .500/.577/.727 through New York's six games this postseason. Judge has reached base 15 times and made only 11 outs.
