Gleyber Torres hit a two-run home run in the third inning to give the New York Yankees a 2-1 lead over the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series (ALDS). The home run, which would have only been a home run in Yankee Stadium due to its short porch, marked the Yankees' first runs of the postseason. Juan Soto also made a significant defensive play by throwing out Salvador Perez at home plate earlier in the game.
