New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s home run in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series was a memorable one, not just because it was his first of the postseason, but because of what Judge’s teammate, Gleyber Torres, did in the moment.
In the seventh inning of the Yankees’ 6-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians, Judge smashed a two-run homer that cleared the wall in center field to give his team extra breathing room late in the game. On Judge’s hit, Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres tagged up from first base to see if the ball would actually leave the yard, a move that led Judge and other Yankees teammates to poke fun at him afterward.
