VIDEO: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gives Blue Jays Lead Over Yankees With Clutch 2-Run Triple
By Thomas Carannante
You thought this one was over, didn't you? It seems that whenever the New York Yankees take a late lead they pretty much slam the door shut with their stacked bullpen, but AL East newcomer Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won't let that become a trend as long as he's facing the Bombers 19 times a year. With Adam Ottavino on the mound, Vladdy doubled in fellow youngsters Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio to give Toronto the lead.

Right inside the first base line, the kid couldn't have placed it any better. Aaron Judge had trouble tracking it down, too, and Vlad took third as a result.
It's 5-4 Blue Jays. Now it'll be up to the bullpen to get the job done.
