NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge, the best hitter on the planet, finally looked the part in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. Five postseason games of struggles gave way to one giant swing Wednesday night, when Judge's two-run home run capped a 6-3 win that gave the New York Yankees a two-games-to-none lead against the Cleveland Guardians.

While the Yankees scored three early runs to capitalize on sloppy play from the typically tidy Guardians, Judge's home run -- a 414-foot blast to center field off Cleveland reliever Hunter Gaddis in the seventh inning -- energized the crowd of 47,054 at Yankee Stadium and served as a reminder that the future AL MVP is more than capable of providing memorable October moments.
