(Toronto) Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached 100and career home run on Wednesday, helping the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1.
Guerrero hit a long solo ball in the first round. We managed to give him the ball because he had fallen into the Blue Jays bullpen. Guerrero intends to hand him over to his father, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
“He will be very proud of me,” said the young Guerrero. I think any parent would be when their child does something like that. »
Guerrero drove in another optional race in the third turn.

Bo Bichette, Santiago Espinal and Raimel Tapia added singles in a run for the Jays, leaders of the trio of clubs that would reach the playoffs without being section champions, in the American.
Toronto leads Seattle by half a game and Tampa Bay by a game and a half.
Bichette has produced 15 runs in his last 10 games, posting a batting average of 0.465 during that span.
Ross Stripling (8-4) allowed a run and three hits in six and a half innings, eliminating four hitters on strike.
Leaving the game, he was warmly welcomed by the crowd of 24,282.
Stripling usually worked on extended relief, but joined the rotation when Hyun-Jin Ryu had to end his season as a result of Tommy John’s surgery.
Stripling has 21 games this season.
“I’m proud of how I reacted to the opportunity I was given,” Stripling said. I’ve experienced this before, but this feels more special to me. Our section is strong, we want to have a place in the playoffs and the club really needed me after Hyun-Jin’s injury. »
Adam Cimber, Yimi Garcia and Anthony Bass completed the relief work.
Harold Ramirez homered in a lost cause.
Drew Rasmussen (10-5) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings.
Guerrero hit 28and circuit this year, ending a 14-game dry spell without a weapon.
“I don’t really worry about that kind of thing (hunger),” Guerrero said. The season is long and there are many ups and downs. I give it all in every game. »
Danny Jansen hit two doubles; after the second, he even scored thanks to a single from Tapia, taking the score to 5-0 in the sixth inning.
Thursday’s starting pitchers will be Shane McClanahan and Kevin Gausman, starting at 3:07 pm.
