Monday’s showdown at the Rogers Centre had the chance to be a historic one for the Yankees. There was a distinct possibility that Aaron Judge could tie or surpass Roger Maris on the same night that the Yankees clinched their 20th AL East title. It wasn’t to be though, as neither event transpired. Judge was kept in the ballpark and thanks to a walk-off hit from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Blue Jays beat New York in the 10th inning, 3-2.
Although the Yankees were facing a tough competitor in Kevin Gausman, they were able to put a run on the board in very short order.
