■ Blue Jays-Twins (18th Japan time, Toronto)

Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. infielder will start in the starting lineup on the 17th (18th Japan time) against the Twins at his home base with “3rd and 1st base”. In the second at bat, he hit the 46th home run, which was the top of both leagues alone.

Guerrero Jr. chased 4 points 3 times. No. 46 solo that jumps into the left wing seat with a bullet liner at the second at bat that was greeted at the beginning. Since the Rays match on the 13th (14th), the base has been greatly excited by the first shot in three games.

Before this match, the home run battle was lined up with Perez of the Royals with 45 runs, but he jumped to the top of the list again. The difference with pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Angels was widened to two.
