"That was a cool one because no one really knew . . . you knew it was far enough to go out, but you didn't know if it would wrap the pole or not. That's always a cool moment. You're bending with the ball a little bit until a big eruption [from the crowd] seeing it hit the pole. It was cool. It was an awesome moment and huge for everything."
"Hit a three-run homer,"
"Big G saw him in Toronto. I asked him. I hadn't seen Louis since he was with the Twins and was a starter. I wanted a brush up. I've seen all the videos, seen all the appearances, but it's a difference when you step in the box and see him"
The Yankees trailed two games to none in the best-of-five series and fell behind 6-1 early in Game 3 before mounting a comeback. Two Blue Jays errors, including a dropped pop-up by third baseman Addison Barger, helped spark the rally. Austin Wells reached second and Trent Grisham walked before Aaron Judge delivered a tying three-run homer that struck the left-field pole. Giancarlo Stanton called the blast an "awesome moment" and joked he told Judge to "Hit a three-run homer." Judge noted that facing flamethrowing reliever Louis Varland in the box felt different than studying video.
