Aaron Hicks had his chance to finally impact the ALDS.

After leaving the series opener with tightness in his right hamstring, Hicks returned to the lineup for Game 4 on Tuesday night in what ended up being a season-ending 4-3 loss.

He lined out to deep center to lead off the bottom of the first and popped to third to end the third, as Rick Porcello dominated for the first four innings.

But in the fifth, the Yankees finally got to the right-hander.

Neil Walker hit a liner to center for the first out before Gary Sanchez hit a ground-rule double to left-center and Gleyber Torres reached on a dribbler down the third-base line that went for an infield hit.

With runners on the corners and one out, Brett Gardner hit a sacrifice fly to left to drive to make it 4-1 and bring up Hicks.

He put a charge into a resuscitated Yankee Stadium crowd when he ripped a line drive down the right-field line that nearly became a two-run homer but instead went foul, putting a scare into Porcello.

He took a close pitch at 1-2, but it was called a ball and with the count 3-2 and Aaron Judge on deck, the Yankees were a pitch away from bringing the tying run to the plate.

Instead, Hicks popped to second baseman Ian Kinsler in short right field to end the threat — and Porcello’s outing.

His at-bats though, showed what a difference the switch hitter might have made in the ALDS if he had been healthy.

Hicks returned to center field and the top of the order after he was removed in the fourth inning of Game 1 at Fenway Park.

Hicks fought to get the start in Game 3, but Boone ultimately went with Brett Gardner in center and Andrew McCutchen in left in the Red Sox’s 16-1 rout on Monday at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees’ biggest loss in their long postseason history.

In the end, he went 0-for-4 on the night from the leadoff position as the rest of the Yankees offense flailed below him.
