The New York Yankees refused to go quietly on Tuesday night, rallying from an early 6–1 hole to beat the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the 2025 ALDS at Yankee Stadium and keep their postseason alive.
Toronto jumped ahead early when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. launched a two-run homer off Carlos Rodón in the top of the first inning to make it 2–0. But the Yankees responded right away. Giancarlo Stanton drove in Aaron Judge with an RBI single to cut the deficit to 2–1.
The Blue Jays extended their lead in the top of the third, stringing together three straight singles to plate four runs and make it 6–1. It looked like a repeat of blowout losses in Games 1 and 2 for the Yankees, but this time the Yankees stopped the bleeding and went on the offensive — with their captain leading the charge.
Aaron Judge Leads the Comeback
Judge singled home Trent Grisham in the bottom of the inning, and a Stanton sacrifice fly brought in Cody Bellinger to make it 6–3.
Then came the turning point: in the fourth inning, Austin Wells reached on an Addison Barger error, Grisham walked, and Judge crushed a three-run blast off the left-field foul pole to tie the game at 6–6.
The Yankees weren’t done with the fireworks. In the fifth, Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered a go-ahead solo shot to right field — putting New York on top 7–6. Wells followed with an RBI single that drove in Amed Rosario to make it 8–6, though he was thrown out at second on a close, controversial play to end the inning. Ben Rice would add another insurance run in the bottom of the sixth to make it 9–6.
As the Yankee bats fueled the comeback, the bullpen shut the door — with five relievers, including Devin Williams, delivering a combined 6.2 scoreless innings after Rodón exited in the top of the third following six earned runs.
Judge, who has famously struggled in the postseason, is batting .500 in the 2025 playoffs and went 3-for-4 tonight with a home run and four RBIs. Most importantly, he came through clutch when it mattered most.
On to Game 4
Game 4 is scheduled for 7:08 PM Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Rookie sensation Cam Schlittler will take the mound for the Yankees. In his postseason debut, he tossed eight scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox in the decisive Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series. He’s already proven he can deliver in big moments — and now he’ll have another chance to do it on baseball’s biggest stage.
