Aaron Judge Leads Yankees, Cuts Astros ALCS Lead to 2-1

The best cure for the offensively struggling New York Yankees was a return to the Bronx where the bombers were unleashed on Monday night.

Following a pair of 2-1 losses to the Houston Astros, the Yankees faced a must-win game three if they hoped to climb back into the American League Championship Series and cut the Astros lead in half.

Thanks to rookie phenomenon Aaron Judge’s mighty bat, the Yankees dominated in taking the game by a decisive score of 8-1.

Judge – who set the MLB rooking home run record with 52 dingers – blasted a three-run shot as well as made two key catches.

The Baby Bambino has to be the most exciting player to come along in major league baseball in a long time and he is just starting to build his playoff legend.

The Yankees grabbed a lead that they would never relinquish when Todd Frazier smacked a three-run blast in the third and now we have a series.

Aging C.C. Sabathia got the win for New York, surrendering no runs in six innings of work.

Game five is Tuesday at 5 pm ET.

Sonny Gray will be pitching for the Yankees while Lance McCullers takes the mound for Houston.
