It would've been easy to come out flat a day after losing an 18-inning World Series game, but the Toronto Blue Jays don't do that. They responded with a 6-2 victory in Tuesday night's Game 4, tying the series 2-2.

Superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continued his hot streak with a two-run homer off of Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, which gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. The score stayed that way until the seventh, when Toronto scored four runs off of the future Hall of Famer thanks to an RBI single by shortstop Andres Gimenez, an RBI groundout by pinch-hitter Ty France, an RBI single by designated hitter Bo Bichette, and another RBI single by right fielder Addison Barger.

Guerrero's homer was a history-making moment, via OptaSTATS.

"The Blue Jays have now hit 4 home runs this postseason that turned a deficit into a lead: Andres Gimenez (ALCS Game 4), George Springer (ALCS Game 7) ,Alejandro Kirk [Monday], [and] Vladimir Guerrero Jr. [Tuesday]. That's the most by any team in a single postseason in MLB history," it reported.

Guerrero's homer was also his seventh of this postseason, giving him the most all-time playoff home runs in franchise history, per the Blue Jays.

Blue Jays' Lineup Depth Paying Off

Toronto invested in a primarily contact-hitting lineup that can also produce homers, and that strategy has them two wins away from its first championship since 1993. The club leads baseball with an .823 OPS, a .285 batting average, and 25 home runs this postseason, per MLB.com.

The Blue Jays' playoff production isn't a fluke, as it finished third in the regular season with a .760 OPS, first with a .265 batting average, and first with 1,461 hits, per MLB. Not only has their offense been elite all year, but it's also clutch. Springer's go-ahead three-run homer during the seventh inning in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners is symbolic of that, but the aforementioned record shows that this team can come back from any deficit.

Next up is Game 5 in Los Angeles on Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m.. Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage will start against veteran southpaw Blake Snell. The game will be broadcast on Fox.

After that, Toronto will host Game 6. It will also host Game 7 if necessary.
