John Schneider and the Blue Jays may have to rely on forces beyond their control to slow down Aaron Judge and the Yankees.
And then his Bronx Bombers superstar counterpart, Aaron Judge, reminded the baseball world who presides over the famed stadium. A massive three-run Judge homer in the fourth inning tied it for the Yankees, who took advantage of some gruesome, sloppy Blue Jays defence, and rode it to a 9-6 win.
The Toronto Blue Jays have found success after switching to retro caps with white panels. Relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman suggested the change after the team lost six out of seven games, dropping into a tie with the New York Yankees for the AL East lead.
The Blue Jays blew out the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS but first the team had to overcome an uncomfortable Aaron Judge at-bat.

The Toronto Blue Jays are on the verge of their first MLB playoff series victory in nearly a decade, getting the chance to sweep the Yankees and advance to the next round Tuesday night in New York after dominating in two home games over the weekend.
