Aaron Judge’s seasonal home -saving on Tuesday night was no ordinary long ball.
The probable soon-to-be-three-gang MVP tied the game with a three-race explosion after turning on a 99.7 mph pitch over a foot inside that died from the bad pole. It was the first time a pitch so fast, and that inside had ever been hit for a home drive since Pitch Tracking began in 2008. It was also the first time the judge has ever hit a home drive on a lane over 99.5 km / h.
Usually, when a ball is so far in the air, it results in a bad ball. But not this one, and the judge may have some Yankees legends to thank.

“You just never know with the wind if it will push it to be evil and continue to curve or not,” Judge said. “But I assume that a few ghosts out there in Monument Park helped the kind of keeping that fair.”
Judge also broke a joke, with a touch of shadow to the critics, about swinging at a pitch out of the zone.
“I shout to swing against them out of the zone, but now I am praised for it,” he said.

2 Field -Putting Causes Stirring During Yankees’ ALDS GAME 3 -SEM OVER BLUE JAYS
The Three-Run Jack ended Yankees’ comeback after drawing 6-1 and forcing Carlos Rodon to leave GME before the third round ended. Jazz Chisholm Jr. added a solo shot in the fifth, and Yanks clung two more while the shaking bullpen stood upside down to record 22 outs without allowing a race.
Yankees participated in the competition a loss away from elimination in the best-of-five American League Division series against their Al East-Rival Toronto Blue Jays. For a while, it definitely looked like Blue Jays were going to coast to a sweep.
Instead, the two enemies are back in Bronx on Wednesday evening at. 19:08 one at FS1.

Six days after spinning eight scoreless hits against Boston Red Sox, Rookie Sensation Cam Schlittler will go to Yankees, while Blue Jays will go with a Bullpen game started by Louis Varland -the same jug that let the fateful home drive to judge.
