Teoscar Hernandez of the Toronto Blue Jays celebrates with Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Bo Bichette after hitting a three-run homer against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday in Toronto at the Rogers Centre.<\/p><\/div>\n

After succumbing the Minnesota Twins on Friday in the first of a triple header, Teoscar Hernandez scored a three run homer on Saturday to give the Jays a 6-2 victory over the Twins. The triple run saw Hernandez unseating Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the lead in RBI\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The victory was welcome news for the organization and resulted in the Blue Jays beating out the New York Yankees for the second AL wild-card spot. Hernandez now sits behind Salvador Perez and Jose Abreu in third in the American League<\/a> with 106 RBI\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees, who are 83-66, lost their chance at the wild card spot after getting decimated 11-3 by Cleveland. The first wild card spot went to the Red Sox after they secured a 9-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr was on the outside at having a chance at the AL triple crown. With two RBI\u2019s behind Hernandez, he has a .318 batting average, 46 home runs and is now in fourth in the American league for RBI\u2019s.<\/p>\n

At 28, Teoscar Hernandez<\/a> has stated that working on the mental side of his game has been one of the reasons for his consistent and productive season. The consistency on the field and behind the plate hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by the organization and fellow teammates like Steven Matz.<\/p>\n

“He’s been the best hitter on a lot of teams. He’s easy to overlook with how good this lineup is. He’s been amazing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Minnesota was looking like they were on their way to their ninth back-t00-back win against the Jays, a record they first established in August 2027. By the bottom of the first inning, the Twins were up by two runs after former Jay, Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer<\/p>\n
