Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has gone full Superman for the Toronto Blue Jays within the ALDS.
Now he simply wants the cape.
After going 3-for-5 in Sunday’s Sport 2 in opposition to the New York Yankees with a grand slam as Toronto took a 2-0 lead within the Greatest-of-Three collection, Guerrero picked up the place he left off on Tuesday night time in Sport 3. The Toronto slugger clobbered a two-run house run within the prime of the primary inning, staking the Blue Jays to an early two-run lead:
The house run gave Guerrero a homer in every of the three video games of the collection.
So it was most likely not a shock when within the prime of the third, after Davis Schneider led off the inning with a double, the Yankees gave Guerrero the free move to arrange a possible double play.
That backfired, as after Alejandro Kirk lined out, Daulton Varsho singled, which introduced Schneider house and superior Guerrero to second. Ernie Clement was subsequent to dig in for Toronto, and he laced a single to left fielder Cody Bellinger.
And Guerrero stored going after he rounded third, and delivered a Superman slide for the ages:
This slide must be seen from each potential angle, as Guerrero takes off and will get horizontal earlier than sliding in simply forward of the tag:
An underrated a part of this play? Be aware of on-deck hitter Anthony Santander:
Santander is guiding Guerrero on his slide, letting him know the throw is coming inside the road and that the Toronto slugger ought to keep exterior as he fees to house.
It’s the little issues.
Together with a legendary slide, in fact.
