Aaron Judge helps bring Yankees’ season back from dead in amazing Game 3 comeback

With the Yankees trailing 6-1 and Carlos Rodón failing to finish three innings, they needed a hero.

They got more than a few.

Behind Aaron Judge’s game-tying, momentum-shifting home run in the fourth inning and Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s go-ahead solo shot one frame later, the Yankees rallied to a 9-6 win on Tuesday night in ALDS Game 3 to keep their season alive.

Toronto chased Rodón from the outing after just 2 1/3 innings, and it looked like it was getting late early in The Bronx.

But after scoring two runs in the bottom of the third, the Yankees marched all the way back to tie it in the fourth when Judge swatted a three-run homer high off the left field foul pole after the Blue Jays unsuccessfully brought in hard-throwing reliever Louis Varland to get him out.

Chisholm followed with a laser beam shot to right field in the fifth to put the Yankees up for the first time, a lead they’d hold the rest of the way.

Five Yankees relievers not only stopped the bleeding but held the Blue Jays off the scoreboard for the final 6 2/3 innings to ensure Rodón’s clunker didn’t end the season.

David Bednar got the final five outs to finish off the yeoman’s work by the relief corps that sent the Yankees to Wednesday’s Game 4.
