When the New York Yankees needed someone to save them Tuesday night, Aaron Judge practically put on a cape. Captain clutch, indeed. In a do-it-all performance for the ages, Judge hit a tying homer and drove in four runs as the Yankees staved off elimination by rallying past the Toronto Blue Jays 9-6 in Game 3 of their AL Division Series. Judge went 3 for 4 with an intentional walk and scored three times, also making pivotal plays with his glove and legs. Down by five early, New York scored eight unanswered runs to prevent a three-game sweep and push the best-of-five playoff series to Game 4 on Wednesday night in the Bronx.
