Toronto Blue Jays Duo Puts Together Historic Effort in All-Star Game Performance

Originally posted on Fastball on SI | By Brady Farkas | Last updated Jul 16, 2025 10:10 AM ET

The National League defeated the American League 7-6 on Tuesday night in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Atlanta, Georgia. The National League won thanks to the first-ever "Home Run Derby swing-off," which occurred after the game was tied 6-6 at the end of nine innings.

Though the American League ultimately lost, it was a good night for the Toronto Blue Jays contingent. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-2 while catcher Alejandro Kirk did as well. Guerrero started the game while Kirk came in relief of starter Cal Raleigh.

By each getting hits, the two members of the Jays made some fun organizational history.
