After a summer of titanic blasts and hard-to-fathom achievement, the final swing of Aaron Judge’s season was a feeble ground ball back to the box. Ryan Pressley fielded it easily, flipped it to first baseman Yuli Gurriel, and the sweep was complete.It is 4-0 Astros in four October encounters with the Yankees going back to 2015.

Signature Yankees just don’t go to San Francisco or Los Angeles. It was surprising when Robinson Cano chose to go to Seattle.
