Toronto Blue Jays Beat Guardians as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Passes Another Name in History

The 26-year-old, who signed a $500 million extension earlier this season, is hitting .281 for the year with 10 homers, 39 RBIs and a .383 on-base percentage. Lifetime, he's a .287 hitter with 170 homers. He's a four-time All-Star and a two-time Silver Slugger.

At 42-36, the Blue Jays are currently in third place in the American League East, but they are just 2.5 games behind the New York Yankees for first. They are trying to make the playoffs again this year after missing them in 2024. They had made them in both 2022 and 2023.

The Blue Jays will play the Guardians again on Wednesday night with first pitch at 6:40 p.m. ET. Max Scherzer will make his return to the rotation after being injured most of the season. He's made just one start since signing with the Jays in the offseason.

Gavin Williams will pitch for Cleveland. He's 5-3 with a 3.58 ERA. The Guardians are 39-38.
