Aaron Judge powered the New York Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, hitting a two-run homer in the postseason. This marked Judge's first home run of the playoffs, contributing to the Yankees' 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.

Despite struggles from both starting pitchers, the Yankees' bullpen shone, allowing just two earned runs over their last 23 1/3 innings. Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo also made significant contributions, helping the Yankees secure the win.
