Guerrero Jr. secures walk-off win in 10th as Blue Jays contain Judge, beat Yankees
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smashed a one-out walk-off single to left field to score Cavan Biggio for the deciding run in a 3-2 win against the New York Yankees in 10 innings on Monday.
The Yankees (94-59) could have clinched the American League East with a victory. The Blue Jays (87-67) won their third in a row and improved to 17-8 in September.
In his pursuit of Roger Maris's 61-year-old American League record of 61 homers in a season, Aaron Judge singled, walked twice and struck out twice to remain at 60 home runs.
The Yankees snatched a 2-0 advantage with runs in the first and second innings. Judge led off with a single to right field, advanced to third on Rizzo's double and scored on Gleyber Torres's sacrifice fly to right.
New York shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa drilled a two-out solo shot to left for his fourth of the season.
Yankees starter Luis Severino cruised through the first three innings without allowing a hit. But Bo Bichette greeted Severino with a sharp single to right field to lead off the fourth.
Guerrero Jr. followed up with an infield hit when Kiner-Falefa could not handle a hot shot. Alejandro Kirk was then issued his second walk to load the bases.
