12-days-without-a-home-run?-vladimir-guerrero-ended-the-drought-with-a-wild-hit-against-jose-urquidy-[video]

He had 15 days without hitting a home run and decided to nip it in the bud small home run slump thanks to a hit that impressed more than one. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. once again showed off his power at the Rogers Center in Toronto against the shipments of Mexican José Urquidy, right-hander for the Houston Astros.

It was the bottom of the third inning when Urquidy made a slider to 80.5 mph that stayed in the red zone, the one that Vladdy Jr. punishes furiously. The ball came crying out of the bat, the sound was heard in the stadium and on the broadcast. Everyone got up to see where it was going to land, because there was no way not to be a four-cornered stunner.

It was his sixth home run of the season and he dragged Tyler Heineman and George Springer who were in circulation to the plate.

The ‘Condecito’ had 15 days without a home run, 11 games without going to the street that resulted in 41 turns without a hit of this type. All this since 15 in April against the Oakland Athletics. It is good news, in addition to the home run, that he returned to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup after missing action Thursday due to severe pain in his right foot from a foul.

The x-rays had come out negative, but the manager preferred to rest him and have him back this Friday night at home.

Guerrero Jr. came within a home run of CJ Cron and three away from matching Anthony Rizzo in the table of the maximum home runs of the season. The Dominican of 23 years old comes from dispatching 48 in 2021, only Salvador Pérez could take out that same amount in all of Major League Baseball.
