Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays Offense Hyped By MLB Fans in ALCS G3 Win vs. Mariners

After dropping the first two games of the ALCS to the Seattle Mariners, the Toronto Blue Jays have regained some momentum with a dominant 13-4 win in Game 3 on Wednesday.

The Blue Jays collected 18 hits and blasted five home runs in the win, which was far too much for a Seattle offense that had eight hits and three homers.

The Mariners struck first with a two-run homer from Julio Rodríguez in the bottom of the first, but from there it was all Toronto. They scored five runs in the third, with Andrés Giménez hitting a solo home run, and George Springer added another homer in the fourth.

Toronto then went up 8-2 fifth and added four more runs in the sixth to make it a 12-2 run lead. The Mariners showed some signs of life in the eighth with back-to-back home runs, but Addison Barger added some insurance for the Jays in the top of the ninth with a solo shot.

It was an offensive display all around for Toronto, but star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led the way, going 4-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored.

Blue Jays fans were thrilled with the offensive showing in Game 3.

The Blue Jays still have plenty of work to do after the win. They still trail 2-1 in the series and will be on the road for the next two games.

But after the way their offense came to life on Wednesday, it’s hard to imagine the Jays won’t have plenty of confidence heading into Game 4 on Thursday.
