Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reminded everyone why he's one of the best hitters on the planet Wednesday night, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and a jaw-dropping five RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays demolished the Cleveland Guardians 11-0. It was a total team beatdown — Cleveland couldn't score a single run all game, getting completely shut out at home.
The Blue Jays entered the game at 68-71, sitting below .500 in the AL East, but performances like this show they're not going away quietly in September. Guerrero's homer was an absolute rocket, and he drove in nearly half of Toronto's runs all by himself. Cleveland, meanwhile, dropped to 70-69, making their hold on first place in the AL Central feel a little shakier heading into a tight division race.
This was one of FIFTEEN MLB games played on Wednesday — a massive day of baseball all across the country. From the Braves blanking the Nationals 9-0, to the Cardinals pulling off a wild 10-inning upset over the Dodgers, to the Tigers needing 12 innings to beat the Twins 11-6, it was an absolutely bonkers Wednesday on the diamond. Read all about it below!
Wednesday was a monster day in Major League Baseball with 15 games on the schedule. Big bats, dominant pitching, and extra-inning drama were everywhere. The Cardinals stunned the Dodgers in 10 innings, Acuña Jr. had himself a classic five-tool game for Atlanta, and young players like H. Bolte of the Athletics (2 HRs, 4 RBI!) announced their presence in a big way. The playoff races are TIGHT — buckle up, Jacob!
