In Toronto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shined, but Aaron Judge stole the spotlight in New York on Tuesday night. The Blue Jays’ defense faltered, and their pitching struggled in Game 3, allowing the Yankees to capitalize, led by Judge’s three-run homer in a 9-6 win. Despite the loss, the Blue Jays still hold the series lead but need to bounce back in Game 4 to avoid a decisive Game 5.
Guerrero Jr., with a two-run homer early in the game, continued his impressive form after the Blue Jays’ recent winning streak. The series momentum shifted to Yankee Stadium, where a charged-up crowd witnessed Guerrero’s stellar performance. However, the Yankees clawed back, taking advantage of defensive lapses and pitching changes to secure the win.
Judge’s pivotal homer in the fourth inning, following a fielding error by the Blue Jays, turned the game around. The crowd erupted as Judge circled the bases, propelling the Yankees to victory. New York’s resilience and team effort were evident as they staged a remarkable comeback from a 6-1 deficit to take control of the series.
The Blue Jays, aiming for their first series win in years, face a crucial Game 4 challenge with a bullpen strategy. Manager John Schneider remains confident in his team’s ability to respond and is hopeful for a strong performance in the upcoming game. The Yankees, on the other hand, aim to continue their playoff success from last season as they seek to advance in the postseason.
