Let’s start with the obvious headline: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. notched his 1,000th career hit . That’s no small feat, especially considering the pressure he’s been under since day one. To do it in a game like this—tight, energetic, and crucial—just makes the moment all the more special. You could see the emotion on his face. It's milestones like this that remind us how young Vlad still is and how much more he probably has left in the tank.
Now, about the game itself—it had everything. The Jays came out swinging early, but Oakland wasn’t just going to roll over. The Athletics kept chipping away, making this a true back-and-forth slugfest. The pitching wasn’t exactly lights out on either side, but that only added to the excitement. The bullpen had to grind it out, and credit to the Jays’ relievers who held it down late in the game.
A real standout performance came from the heart of the order, where the offense once again showed flashes of what we’ve been waiting to see all season: timely hits, smart baserunning, and clutch at-bats. It’s the kind of baseball Toronto fans have been hoping to see consistently—and if this game is any indication, they might finally be finding their rhythm.
This win doesn’t magically fix everything, but it’s a huge morale booster. The Blue Jays are fighting to stay in the postseason conversation, and games like this are how you build momentum. You win a tough one on the road, you celebrate a milestone, and you start believing a little more.
So yeah, 7–6 doesn’t look like a pitcher’s duel, but it was one heck of a ballgame. And for Vlad Jr., this night will be remembered for a long time. Blue Jays fans—buckle up. If the bats keep heating up, this summer could still get very interesting.
