He marked his fifth homer of the season, a disappointingly low total for a player considered one of the sports\u2019 most feared hitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vladimir Guerrero Jr. adds on with a two-run homer \ud83d\udca5 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LMGXaq8faW\">pic.twitter.com\/LMGXaq8faW<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLB\/status\/2074977259732009341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the game was already well in hand, the blast gave Guerrero and the Blue Jays something extra to celebrate. Toronto has been waiting for its franchise first baseman to regain the form that has made him one of the game&#8217;s elite offensive players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 27-year-old entered the season with high expectations after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/toronto-blue-jays-to-announce-14-year-mega-deal-with-vladimir-guerrrero-jr\">signing a massive 14 year, $500 million contract<\/a>. Instead, he has struggled to produce at his usual level.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the current year, <strong>Guerrero is batting .262 with five home runs and 37 runs batted in<\/strong>, numbers that fall well below the standard he has set throughout his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His current campaign stands in sharp contrast to his outstanding 2021 season, when he hit .311 with 48 home runs and 111 RBIs while finishing second in American League Most Valuable Player voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"he-can-deliver\">He Can Deliver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with his difficult regular season, Guerrero has already shown he can deliver when the stakes are highest. During last year&#8217;s postseason, he was one of Toronto&#8217;s driving forces, batting .397 with eight home runs and 15 RBIs across 18 playoff games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His outstanding performance earned him American League Championship Series MVP honors and helped reinforce his reputation as a player who thrives under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, <strong>Guerrero was selected to his sixth All Star Game<\/strong>. However, he chose to skip the event to give his back injury additional time to heal after it caused him to miss several games during the first half of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toronto hopes Wednesday&#8217;s home run is the beginning of a turnaround for its star slugger. The Blue Jays currently hold a 44-49 record and sit third in the American League East, trailing the division leading Tampa Bay Rays by 11.5 games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Guerrero can rediscover his power in the second half, Toronto could still make a push to climb back into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/baseball\">2026 MLB playoff race<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary: The Toronto Blue Jays finally received the much-anticipated encouraging sign they have been waiting for from one of their biggest star players.\u00a0 On Wedneday, July 8, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put an end to his long home run drought in a convincing 10-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants who beat them earlier this week.

My name is Doug Hirdle, and I am the main author at Betting.ca. As a huge sports fan, for years I have thought about running a website that\u2019s going to provide people with the latest news from the world of sports. However, watching sports is not my only passion, as I also love betting on them. That\u2019s why I created a website called Betting.ca and began writing reviews of top Canadian sports betting operators and casino sites, while also writing some sports news on the side.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DHirdle"],"url":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/author\/doug-hirdle"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
