Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero Jr already moving up franchise leaderboard

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened Sunday's game against the Athletics with a two-base knock, but the Toronto Blue Jays still found themselves trailing late.

The 26-year old first baseman struck out to end the seventh, stranding a man on base.

The Athletic's proceeded to add an insurance run in the top of the eighth, giving the Blue Jays an even deeper hole to dig out of.

Addison Barger flipped that deficit with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the frame, though, crushing a three-run home run to right-center.

And just for good measure, Guerrero came back to life with a two-RBI double that capped the game-winning rally.

The Blue Jays held on to win 8-4, completing the sweep and notching a fifth consecutive victory in the process.

Guerrero Jr finished the contest 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. According to TSN's StatsCentre, Sunday marked the 47th game of Guerrero's career in which he recorded multiple extra-base hits, which is tied for the eighth-most in franchise history.

Carlos Delgado owns the record with 113 such performances, followed by Vernon Wells, Joe Carter, Jose Bautista, George Bell, Edwin Encarnacion and Lloyd Moseby.

Guerrero Jr is now batting .283 with eight home runs, 10 doubles, 28 RBIs, an .829 OPS and a 1.7 WAR so far in 2025.

The four-time All-Star hit .293 with an .887 OPS between 2021 and 2024, averaging 34 home runs, 35 doubles, 101 RBIs and a 4.6 WAR per year.

Vladdy has yet to miss a game this season. He has appeared in 755 of Toronto's last 767 games dating back to 2020, giving himself ample opportunities to notch multi-extra-base hit outings.

Toronto will take Monday off, then host the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. First pitch for that series opener is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET.
