Vladimir Guerrero Jr capped a strong performance in the Toronto Blue Jays‘ series win against the Cleveland Guardians.
Toronto took two of three games in the series at Progressive Field.
The 6-3 result on Thursday also gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 edge in this year’s season series—opening the way for a key tiebreaker in the American League wild-card race.
The Blue Jays now trail by just a half-game, with Cleveland holding the final AL wild-card spot.
Guerrero went 4 for 11 with a homer, a double, a walk and six RBIs over three games. Shortly after Thursday’s game, Guerrero announced big news away from the field.
