Try it freeHeroes and zeros from the Yankees’ 9-6 Game 3 win over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night:
There is your moment, Aaron Judge.
The Yankees captain, who has faced scrutiny in plenty of Octobers and this one, would not allow his team to lose.
He demolished a game-tying three-run homer off the left field foul pole and soon after saved a run with a diving play in right field.
The typically excellent Blue Jays defense let them down. Misplays by Isiah Kiner-Falefa at second, Addison Barger at third and Anthony Santander in right field led to Yankees runs.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. picked a nice time for his first postseason homer, clubbing a go-ahead shot in the fifth.

99.7 mph: The speed of the fastball that Judge crushed. He had hit 384 regular-season and postseason homers before that swing, and none had resulted from a pitch thrown that fast.
“It was best-player-in-the-game type performance.”
— Aaron Boone on Aaron Judge
