A strong player in the team's crisis is a true superstar. Sky also helps such a player.

In Game 3 of the Division Series (DS) against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on the 8th (Korea time), the Yankees came from behind to win 9-6, with four RBIs, including a tie-breaking three-run shot by main catcher Aaron Judge.

The Yankees, who were on the edge of the cliff by giving up the first and second away games, moved the venue to their home ground and grabbed Game 3 to make the entire series 1-2 and fought back. Game 4 between the two teams will be held at 8:08 a.m. on the 9th at the same place. Yankees will start right-hander Cam Schreitler and Toronto will start on bullpen day, respectively.




It is no exaggeration to say that the Yankees' victory in Game 3 was helped by 'God'. That's what Judge is saying about the tiebreaking home run.

Down 3-6 in the bottom of the fourth. After one out, the Yankees got on base due to third baseman Addison Barger's error, and Trent Grisham walked to create chances for the first and second bases.

Judge then took the batter's box and pulled Toronto's changed pitcher Valand's 99.7-mile fastball toward his body on the third pitch and connected it with a three-run shot that hit the top of the left foul pole. Judge's first home run this postseason was 35 degrees from the angle of launch, 103.1 miles from the ball speed, and 373 feet from the distance.




If the ball flew to the left and escaped the pole, it would have been a foul and the Yankees' fate would have changed significantly.

Recalling the situation at the time, Cody Bellinger recalled "My wish was only one. 'Please get hit by the foul pole' he repeated. The ball hit the top quarter of the pole and fell to the ground.

The Yankees, who changed the flow with Judge's cannon, turned the tide 7-6 after one out in the bottom of the fifth inning when Jazz Chisom Jr. passed Balland's 99.4-mile fastball to the back of the right fence, and Wells, with two outs and second base, hit a right-handed hit to bring in second baseman Ahmed Rosario, widening the gap to 8-6.




In the bottom of the sixth inning, when the first Judge got four pitches on purpose in the absence of a runner after one out, Bellinger hit a double to right-center to connect the chance with runners on second and third bases with one out, and Judge homered with Ben Rice's sacrifice fly to run 9-6.

Judge said of his home run after the game, `I didn't know if the ball would be foul or fly away because of the wind. But some of the 'ghosts' in Monument Park helped pair the ball." It means that heaven helped.

Monument Park refers to an outdoor museum equipped with Yankee Stadium. The number of the Yankees' permanent absentee player's number is written and statues of legends are standing.

Toronto has a record of winning all 39 games with a lead of more than five points in this regular season. For the first time, that 'myth' was broken.

The Yankees have never won a game more than five points since the 2010 postseason. The Yankees trailed 0-5 until the sixth inning of the 2010 ALCS Game 1 against the Texas Rangers After the seventh inning, he scored six points and won 6-5, and after 15 years, he overcame a five-point gap in the postseason.

In particular, the Yankees became the fifth team to win the postseason elimination game (a game that is eliminated if lost) by more than five points.
