NextImg:Aaron Judge finally has his postseason moment as Yankees take control of ALCS

Aaron Judge sent the Yankees to Cleveland in complete command of the ALCS.

The Yankees slugger found his stroke on Tuesday, driving home three runs — including hitting his first homer of the postseason — in a 6-3 win over the Guardians in Game 2 of the ALCS in The Bronx.

The Bombers now lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Judge’s first-inning pop-up was muffed by Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio, allowing Gleyber Torres to score the first run of the game in the bottom of the first inning.

A third-inning sac fly brought Anthony Rizzo across the plate in the third to make it a 3-0 lead.

Judge saved his best of the night for the seventh inning, when he sent reliever Hunter Gaddis’ fastball just outside the center field wall for a welcome two-run blast to bring Torres around for a 6-2 score.

The outfielder’s offensive outburst helped the Yankees withstand a middling outing from ace Gerrit Cole, who last just 4 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
