The right-hander threw three cutters and a sinker but Torres did not bite at any of them, setting the tone for what would be a short outing for Civale.<\/p>\n<p>Torres later moved up to second base when Civale hit Anthony Rizzo and then scored when Giancarlo Stanton crushed a home run that put the Yankees up 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>After batting out of the three-hole for the first two games of the ALDS (and going 2-for-8 with a run), Torres moved into the leadoff spot in Game 3 for a briefly scuffling Judge.
