Yankees-Blue Jays takeaways: Aaron Judge makes history, Bombers clinch

The Yankees clinched the AL East and another series win in Toronto, and the best part was Aaron Judge finally hitting his record-tying 61st home run. Cue fans breathing a sigh of relief.

Seven regular season games remain. Three at home with the Baltimore Orioles, then four on the road with the Texas Rangers. Seven very winnable games for a New York team getting hot again at the right time.

Even better is that if certain chips fall into place, the Yankees and Blue Jays may face off in the playoffs. That means playing in a rowdy Rogers Centre in October, deep in the belly of the beast that is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
