<p>This is one we&#8217;ll remember as a Vladdy Game.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Guerrero Jr. smashed three homers, two off of Gerrit Cole, as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees in The Bronx by a score of 6-4.</p>
<h1><em><strong>Things worth mentioning&#8230; </strong></em></h1>
<ul>
<li>The first Vladdy homer came in the first inning and it just scraped over the wall in centre field, the second came in the third inning and he managed to hit one of Cole&#8217;s fastballs that was in on his hands 427 feet to left field, and the third one came in the eighth inning off of Jonathan Loisaga and it looked like the ball was hit into space. Amazingly, two of the three homers came after Vladdy had his hand stepped on by Aaron Hicks as he ran out a ground ball past first base. Vladdy was gushing blood out of his hand, taped it up, and took that Cole fastball on the hands into the seats. Absolutely fucking nails.</li>

<li>Jose Berrios got the start and did a lot better than he did back on Opening Day.

In the fifth inning, Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge clubbed back-to-back homers and then Josh Donaldson and DJ LeMahieu both hit doubles to tie the game.

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">José Berríos looks like himself tonight. Fastball has good action, breaking ball is missing bats. When he&#39;s throwing nasty fading righty-righty changeups like this, that&#39;s a good sign for him. <a href="https://t.co/iPT908Kj3k">pic.twitter.com/iPT908Kj3k</a></p>
