New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s home run in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series was a memorable one, not just because it was his first of the postseason, but because of what Judge’s teammate, Gleyber Torres, did in the moment.

RBI performance in his last game (going 1-for-3), will take the field for the New York Yankees versus Matthew Boyd and the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. First

Now Judge needs to make sure that the Guardians — and a potential World Series opponent — don’t tempt fate again. With the Yankees just two wins away from their first Fall Classic appearance since 2009, a power surge from MLB’s home run champ would make things easier for a club that is 5-1 this month despite some imperfect play.
