Vlad Jr. Lifts Blue Jays with Game-Changing World Series Blast
If you missed last night’s action, yes — the Toronto Blue Jays did win, and in unforgettable fashion. It was one of those classic October nights where everything seemed to hinge on a single swing, and that swing belonged to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
In Game 4 of the 2025 World Series, the Jays found themselves in a tough spot. They were coming off an 18-inning heartbreaker the night before, trailing in the series for the first time. The Dodgers had just taken a 1–0 lead, and the energy inside Dodger Stadium was electric. But then, in the third inning, Guerrero stepped up against none other than Shohei Ohtani — arguably the best player in baseball — and crushed a hanging sweeper deep into the night. It wasn’t just a home run; it was a statement. That blast flipped the game’s momentum and helped Toronto hold on to win, tying the series at two games apiece.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider called it “an elite swing,” pointing out that the pitch Guerrero hit was designed to generate weak contact. Instead, it became the turning point of the game — and maybe of the series. For the Jays, it was the perfect response after the emotional grind of Game 3, and it reignited belief across the clubhouse.

Guerrero’s been in rare form all postseason, hitting .419 with seven home runs. But what’s impressed his teammates most is his complete game — his defense, his baserunning, his poise under pressure. Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer even called him “an all-around great player,” adding that Guerrero’s greatness goes beyond just power hitting.
Even his hitting coach, David Popkins, admitted he often just watches in awe. “You kind of grab some popcorn and enjoy the show,” he said. “He’s always one step ahead of adjustments. When it clicks for him, it’s on like Donkey Kong.”
His teammates feel the same way — closer Jeff Hoffman described watching Guerrero at the plate as “sitting on the edge of your seat every night.” Whether it’s a line drive the other way or a towering homer, he’s always in control of the at-bat.
What makes it all the more impressive is the pressure he’s under. Guerrero recently signed a $500 million contract that ties him to Toronto through 2039 — and rather than letting it weigh him down, he’s embraced the moment. When asked about his own performance after the game, he kept it simple: “I’m just helping my team win some games.”
Last night’s home run wasn’t just another highlight. It was a declaration — that this World Series isn’t just about Ohtani. It’s also about Vlad Jr., who’s proving, one swing at a time, that he belongs on baseball’s biggest stage.
