Few players strike fear into the hearts of New York Yankees pitchers: Ken Griffey Jr., Manny Ramirez, and now Vladimir Guerrero Jr. After mashing three home runs in Yankee Stadium, the Toronto Blue Jays superstar is quickly becoming a Yankee-killer. Entering the 2022 season, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. already had a renowned presence against the New York Yankees. The slugger had swatted 11 homers through 50 games en-route to a .547 slugging percentage against the Yanks.Wednesday night was a special game for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. against the New York YankeesOn a fateful night in April, Guerrero announced himself, starting with a towering blast to centerfield off of New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. The ball was nearly robbed by the centerfielder but ricocheted off of an object in Monument Park and reentered the outfield. The ball was initially ruled a double, but it was overturned upon replay. The 2021 AL MVP runner-up wasn't done. He slugged a towering shot to left centerfield in the third inning, depositing a two-run dinger into the bullpen for his second homer off Cole. However, the face of the Toronto Blue Jays wasn't done just yet. With a one-run lead in the eighth inning, the young slugger wasted no time providing an insurance run. The slugger pulled the first pitch of the at-bat to the second deck of Yankee Stadium.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has three home runs tonight.
