Vlad Jr. Breaks Drought, Lights Up Rogers Centre | Toronto News

0:00It's September 14th. Welcome in. This is Toronto News Today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. So, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finally broke his home run drought at Roger's Center this past Sunday. It was a solo shot against the Baltimore Orioles in the fifth inning, part of a three-homer barrage for the Jays that day. The crowd went wild, chanting his name, and you could see the relief on his face. He was clearly feeling it, saying it felt so good to finally get that monkey off his back, especially with the team getting the win. It wasn't just the Homer either. He had a fantastic game overall, racking up four hits including a double and two singles. This moment is huge for the Blue Jays as they're fighting for a playoff spot. They need their star players to step up, and hopefully, this home run is the spark that gets Vladigoyne for the rest of the season. He's been working hard, and he hopes this is the sign of good things to come. It's been a bit of a downier for him compared to last season's success, with only nine home runs and 56 runs batted

1:03in through 100, 35 games, but there's still time to turn it around and make a big impact in October if they can make the postseason. The hope is that this blast at home ignites his bat and helps the team push for a wild card spot. If he can perform in the playoffs, nobody will be talking about his regular season struggles.
