Aaron Judge hit a tying three-run homer in the fourth inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. socked a go-ahead solo homer in the fifth and the New York Yankees avoided elimination in the American League Division Series with a 9-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 on Tuesday.

The Yankees stormed back from a 6-1 deficit through 2½ innings thanks to the homers from Judge and Chisholm off Louis Varland (0-1).

"Happy with how the offense responded and pitching staff responded, and live to see another day," Judge said.
