Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Demolishes Yankees and Makes History with Toronto

Santo Domingo, Dominican Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to demonstrate his power on the diamond. The Toronto Blue Jays star hit his third consecutive home run in the Divisional Series against the New York Yankees, bringing his team closer to the Championship Series.

A Bat with History

The impressive hit occurred in the first inning of Game 3, held at Yankee Stadium. Guerrero Jr. connected on an 86.3 mph changeup thrown by Carlos Rodón, sending the ball 427 feet into the left-center field stands. The exit velocity of the home run was 110.5 mph, driving in two runs and raising his RBI total to seven in just 10 at-bats during the series.

At 26 years old, the Dominican slugger maintains an impressive offensive line against the Yankees: .311/.373/.560 (OPS of .941) in 104 career games, including 24 home runs, 80 RBIs, and 52 extra-base hits.

This historic home run made Guerrero Jr. the first player in Toronto Blue Jays history to hit a home run in three consecutive postseason games, solidifying his position as a key piece in the team’s offense. The rivalry between Guerrero Jr. and the Yankees intensified when New York manager Aaron Boone decided to intentionally walk him in the third inning, with first base open. However, the strategy didn’t work: Toronto took advantage of the situation to score four runs and extend their lead to 6-1, heading towards a possible sweep.
