A Time for Heroes

Your daily dose of postseason baseball—with more to come!

Oh, we’re chock full today. The Yankees move on behind an unexpected hero. David Fry plays the hero. Shohei faces his hero. Is my hero, Bob Costas, saying goodbye?

Obviously, the Yankees-Royals series was going to be all about the two superstars who carried them, right? This was AARON JUDGE vs. BOBBY WITT JR. in a battle royale of awesomeness. OK! Let’s do this!

Aaron Judge: 2 for 14, 5 walks, 0 homers, 0 RBIs.

Bobby Witt Jr.: 2 for 17, 1 walk, 0 homers, 0 RBIs.

Um, OK! So who was the Yankees’ hero?

There are some candidates, for sure.
