NEW YORK – New York Yankiz There were many problems with Toronto Blue Jace In Alds, but Aaron Jaj It is not one of them. On Tuesday evening, in the third game, the New York captain made a decisive Homeran with three wounds from the left foul field to complete the return of his team after an early deficit of 6-1. Yankees avoided departure at least one more night and forced the fourth game on Wednesday (Ny 9, Thor 6).
“I felt that I had made good contact, and thought that we had a chance,” Jaji said after the game that the ball was honest. “With the wind, you never know whether he will violate the rules, continue to turn or not. But I think that a couple of ghosts there helped to maintain justice. ”
Honyran was the first for Jajj in the postson of 2025, as well as his sixth Homer in his career, when his team threatened to fly, which made a member of the Glory Hall of David Ortis the best player in the history of MLB. Yankees keep an invoice 4-2 in the start of the release when Jajus goes deep.
This is a special Homeran made by a special player. According to StatCast, this is the fastest presentation that the judge has ever applied according to Homer (99.7 miles per hour), as well as the farthest internal presentation that the judge had ever applied according to Homer (1.2 feet). This is the fastest internal presentation that any player knocked out of the park from the moment of starting the system tracking system in 2008. This requires player 1 out of 1.
“You are only at the moment. Just trust your eyes, trust your blow. ” Jaja said when he was asked how he hit this field. “I feel that I can get to each field in the zone. I think that the most important thing is just to be prepared on time. I think that everything depends on time. That's what a lot of blows are reduced.”
Blue Jace Manager John Schneider expressed himself more concisely: “It was an absurd turn.”
Why does John Schneider not worry about Blue Jace because of the decisive homeran of Aaron Jaja: “Give him his due, dude”

Jaja was criticized, and not without reason, for the lack of influence in the postson throughout his career. He entered in 2025 with an attacker of 0.199/0.313/0.435 in 57 matches of the postson for his career, which is much lower than his huge effectiveness in the regular season. Even in this post -zone, Jaji scored 8 out of 18 (0.444) before the third game, but with seven single games and without much influence on the game.
Now Jajj is getting rid of the post -zone monkey, which has been on his back for the past nine years. He went 3 out of 4 with the RBI interpretation to take the Yankeys to the account of 6–2, and then with a home with three runs to equalize the score in the third game. A large night improved it to 0.500/0.577/0.727 in six games of New York in this post-zone. The judge reached the base 15 times and made only 11 outs.
“Blue Jace” was so scared that they deliberately brought Jaja with one out, and the bases were empty in the sixth of Inning Tuesday, which led to insurance. And in addition to the attack, Jajah caught the ball in a jump and took at least one ball from the enemy. Anthony SantanderIf you do not continue to run away from the board. Infrequently, one player can take the upper hand in this sport, but Jaja did it in the third game.
“The catch was magnificent. The perfect jump, ”said the manager of Yankiz Aaron Boon. “When we returned, they are going, it seems that they are going to start from the basic runners, and he immediately closed it.”
Return with five rounds is the second largest in the post -zone history of Yankees after returning with six rounds in the game of the 4th series of 1996 against Atlanta Braves. It is also the third largest return to the game for the start in the history of baseball. The Yankees have never been involved in ALDS. In the third game, their record is 4-0, and in the series they lose 2-0.
Jazz numbering ml. He made his first homeran in the playoffs to give Yankees an advantage from which they will never surrender in the fifth intoning, and five nutritionists did not allow Toronto to get on the scoreboard in the last 6 ⅔ taxes. It includes Devin Williams'The first appearance of the four of May 2023. The Yankees received a contribution from all members of the composition and from almost everyone who was in the CPP.
However, Jajj was a star of the third game, and Yankiz needed him. There were no chances – zero – Yankeys will be able to force the fourth game without Jajus changed the situation in the third game. He needed to put his team on his back, which he does every season for a long time. Now Jaje did it in October, and Yankiz live until the next day.
“I'm just trying to just do my job, what I tried to do all year,” said Jaj. “I'm not trying to do too much. The guy is at the base, drive him. If there is no one on the basis, try to arrange a rally. This is all you can do, especially in front of our fans. ”
