Yankees Overcome Deficit to Win ALDS Game 3 Led by Devin Williams Ovation

In a pivotal Game 3 of the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Yankees overcame a 6-1 deficit, thanks in large part to clutch performances from Aaron Judge and reliever Devin Williams. Judge's three-run home run in the fourth inning tied the game and shifted momentum, leading to a 9-6 victory that kept the Yankees' postseason hopes alive. Meanwhile, Devin Williams, who had a challenging first season with the Yankees, delivered a critical four-out relief appearance, earning cheers from the home crowd and marking his third consecutive scoreless outing in the playoffs. The bullpen, including Williams and closer David Bednar, combined for 6.2 scoreless innings after a poor start by Carlos Rodón, who allowed six runs in just over two innings. Williams' resilience throughout the season culminated in his postseason turnaround, contributing significantly to the team's comeback. This collective effort highlighted the Yankees' ability to rally under pressure and extended their series to Game 5.
