The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday night, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seemed to take the result as hard as anyone.

The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays 5-4 in an 11-inning Game 7 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The Blue Jays were leading 4-3 heading into the ninth inning before Miguel Rojas tied the game with a solo home run off closer Jeff Hoffman. Will Smith then hit a solo homer off Shane Bieber in the top of the 11th, and the Dodgers held on to become back-to-back World Series champions.

After the game ended, Guerrero Jr. appeared to be crying in the dugout.

Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Game 7. He had a monster postseason with 8 home runs and 15 RBI in 18 games. Guerrero finished the playoffs with a 1.289 OPS.

The Blue Jays looked like they were destined to win the World Series when Bo Bichette blasted a three-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. The Dodgers managed to claw their way back with the help of a couple of outstanding game-saving plays.

Guerrero was in tears for a much different reason earlier in the postseason. While he was hoping to end the run with a World Series ring, the slugger proved he is capable of performing on baseball’s biggest stage. Guerrero’s reaction to losing also shows how much winning a championship would mean to him.
