Aaron Judge's two-run homer propelled the New York Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, giving them a 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. Judge's first postseason home run was a significant moment, coming after a slow start in the playoffs.

Despite struggles from both starting pitchers, the Yankees' bullpen shone, allowing just one earned run. Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo contributed significantly to the offense, while the Guardians faced challenges with errors and missed opportunities.
