The Yankees went wild after Judge and Stanton blasted back-to-back home runs.
The New York Yankees turned Game 3 of the American League division series on its head in the span of two batters.
The Yankees entered the top of the eighth inning trailing the Cleveland Guardians 3-1. After reliever Hunter Gaddis retired the first two batters, Juan Soto worked a walk to bring up Aaron Judge representing the tying run. Cleveland countered by bringing in lights-out closer Emmanuel Clase. And that's where things got crazy.
Clase got ahead 0-2, then threw a 99 mph cutter that missed the plate. On 1-2, he went back to the cutter, again at 99 mph, and Judge turned it around. The Yankees superstar launched the ball off the bat at 109.9 mph and sent an absolute laser just over the wall in right field to tie the game 3-3.Giancarlo Stanton stepped to the plate next and Clase, once again, got ahead of him 1-2. After Stanton fouled off two cutters, Clase threw a slider for the seventh pitch of the at-bat and he hung it.
