NEW YORK — With a soaring shot headed for Monument Park, Aaron Judge got New York back on course for another memorable October.

Yankee Stadium sounds like it’s ready, too.

“That ballpark is alive,” Judge said after this latest rousing rally.

Judge ignited a comeback with a home run, then hit a tying double during a four-run eighth inning to spur the Yankees over Houston 6-4 Tuesday night and tie the AL Championship Series 2-2.

The Baby Bombers trailed 4-0 against starter Lance McCullers Jr. until Judge homered leading off the seventh. He tied it with a line drive that nearly left the park in the eighth and scored when Gary Sanchez hit a go-ahead two-run double off closer Ken Giles.
