The New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals in Game 1 of the American League Division Series by the final score of 6-5 on Saturday night.

In a back-and-forth affair, New York was able to come out on top in front of a raucous crowd at Yankee Stadium.

It was an uncharacteristically quiet night at the plate for Aaron Judge, as he struck out three times in four at-bats. Judge was able to draw a walk and record a go-ahead run in the fifth inning, though.
