Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of Montreal, Quebec is having an outstanding 2025 Major League Baseball postseason. He continued his playoff excellence on Thursday in an 8-2 Blue Jays win over the Seattle Mariners in game four of the American League Championship Series. With the win, the Blue Jays and Mariners are tied at two wins apiece in the best out of seven series.

In game four, Guerrero Jr. had a multi-hit game as he had two hits (one single and one home run). The home run was a solo shot in the top of the seventh inning, was 359 feet, and put the Blue Jays up 6-2 at the time.

So far in the postseason, Guerrero Jr. is batting .455 with five home runs (which leads the postseason) and 11 runs batted in (which also leads the postseason). During eight games, 33 at bats and 38 plate appearances, Guerrero Jr. has scored nine runs and had 11 hits, four walks, 32 total bases, one sacrifice fly, an on base percentage of .500 and a slugging percentage of .970. The sacrifice fly came in the Blue Jays’s American League Divisional Series game one win over the New York Yankees, a 10-1 Toronto win on October 4.

Guerrero Jr. was one of two Blue Jays players to hit a home run in game four. The other came from Andres Jimenez. Meanwhile, 41-year-old future Baseball Hall of Famer Max Scherzer recorded his eighth playoff victory on the mound.
