Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton delivered when the Yankees needed it most on Thursday night.
With the Yankees down 3-1 in the top of the eighth inning in Game 3 of the ALCS, Judge — facing star Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase — ripped a line-drive, two-run homer to right, to tie the game.
One batter later, Giancarlo Stanton cranked a solo homer, putting the Yankees in the lead.

It all caved in for Cleveland, who brought in their stopper to avoid this exact situation.
Instead, they now are in danger of going down 3-0 in this ALCS.
