Vladimir Guerrero Jr leads Blue Jays' World Series charge against Dodgers after ALCS MVP performance
The Toronto Blue Jays are going to rely on superstar first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to carry the load offensively against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
Leadoff man du jour Davis Schneider hit Blake Snell's first pitch into the left field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, and before he could snugly don Toronto's iconic home run jacket, franchise player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed with a 394-foot shot in the same neighborhood. Toronto 2, Los Angeles 0 before Snell could even settle in.

Following the final out, the Blue Jays' families poured onto the field to celebrate. Pitcher Kevin Gausman scooped up his two daughters before hugging his wife, Taylor Gausman. Meanwhile, first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was seen joyfully embracing his wife, Nathalie, and their daughter.
It was Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage who helped lead the team to this important victory. Yesavage tossed seven innings and allowed one earned run while striking out 12 Dodgers hitters and walking zero.
