June 26th, 2022 was highlighted by Aaron Judge’s classic walk-off 3-run HR that capped a Yankees late comeback after being no-hit for an MLB record 16.1 IP and split a contentious possible ALCS preview vs. Houston. The Los Angeles Dodgers staged an epic rally with a 2-out, 9th-inning single by Trayce Thompson off former Dodger closer Kenley Jansen and went on to beat Atlanta 5-3 in 11 frames. Cedric Mullins displayed his electric talent with a full-extension diving catch plus Miami avoided a sweep from the Mets behind Nick Fortes’ walk-off blast.
