Judge ends homer drought as Yanks snatch 2-0 ALCS lead

Sloppy play has the Guardians facing a big deficit in the Series

NEW YORK — Aaron Judge sent the ball soaring toward Monument Park and Gleyber Torres tagged up at first base.

"That was disrespect out of Gleyber, man," Judge said with a smile. "He's seen me hit 58 of those things this year."

Judge's first home run of the postseason broke the tension, a two-run, seventh-inning drive that boosted the New York Yankees over the Cleveland Guardians 6-3 on Tuesday night for a 2-0 AL Championship Series lead.
