\"Judge<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Yankees<\/a>\u00a0entered Sunday with a three-game deficit in the AL East behind the\u00a0Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, and with a win would trim the gap to two games with enough time remaining to catch Toronto.<\/p>\n

A win for Toronto, however, would extend the Jays\u2019 lead to four games, making it extremely difficult for New York to chase them down atop the division. Sunday also marked the final head-to-head regular-season matchup between the division rivals heading into October.<\/p>\n

Toronto sent Max Scherzer to the mound on extended rest \u2014 after he previously dealt with back soreness \u2014 in an attempt to help the Blue Jays take the series. But he faced a tall task going against New York\u2019s ace,\u00a0Max Fried<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Max Scherzer\u2019s Costly Mistake<\/h2>\n

The Yankees got off to a hot start in the first inning, with Ben Rice following up an\u00a0Aaron Judge<\/a>\u00a0walk and\u00a0Cody Bellinger<\/a>\u00a0single with a three-run home run \u2014 a massive swing on their way to a crucial 4-3 victory.<\/p>\n

However, cameras caught an alternate angle of Judge waving his arms at second base, appearing to signal to Rice at\u00a0home plate<\/a>\u00a0that a changeup was coming.<\/p>\n

Max Scherzer was tipping his changeup. It led to an amazing AB from Ben Rice. <\/p>\n
