Yankees, Blue Jays and ALDS

Follow The Post’s live updates as the Yankees fight for their playoff lives again against the Blue Jays in Game 4 of the ALDS in The Bronx.
Game 1 of the best-of-seven ALCS is set for Sunday at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, where the Blue Jays will face the Seattle Mariners or Detroit Tigers. That series is tied at two, with the deciding game to be played on Friday in Seattle.
Boosted by Judge’s tying three-run homer, the Yankees erased an early five-run deficit, then put away Toronto, 9-6, to extend the series.
And with Anthony Santander, a DH if there ever was one, still playing right field in the sixth, Bellinger followed a free pass to Judge (with one out, nobody on base) with a catchable liner that eluded Santander − leading to another Yankee run.
The New York Yankees finished one win shy of repeating as AL East champions despite beating the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 Sunday behind a pair of Ben Rice home runs for a season-ending eight-game winning streak.
