In Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Progressive Field, the New York Yankees overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Cleveland Guardians with back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. With two strikes and two outs, Judge hit a game-tying two-run homer off Emmanuel Clase, one of the league's premier closers who had allowed only two home runs in 74 1/3 regular-season innings. Stanton followed with a solo shot to center field on a 99 mph cutter, giving the Yankees a 4-3 lead. The Yankees' power hitters delivered clutch performances, shifting the momentum in this crucial game.
