CLEVELAND (AP) — Aaron Judge finally delivered the kind of postseason moment in October that turns Yankees into legends.
It became a footnote when New York's bullpen blew up.
Judge's tying, two-out, two-run homer in the eighth inning — followed by Giancarlo Stanton's solo shot — were upstaged Thursday night by a pair of lesser-known Cleveland players as the Guardians rallied for a 7-5 victory in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series.
Rookie Jhonkensy Noel hit a two-out, pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth inning off Luke Weaver and David Fry connected for a two-run shot in the 10th off Clay Holmes as the Guardians rallied against New York's lights-out bullpen.
