Suddenly, those early-season struggles from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., seem pretty distant after a two homer game. (bnicholsonsmith)

Guerrero Sr., would soon have even more to celebrate, as his 20-year-old son was locked in all night long. He singled in his second at-bat and walked his third time up. Then, with two on in the sixth, Guerrero Jr., sent“Destroyed,” one scout said. “He’s a monster.”

The top prospect in baseball started his major-league career quietly, with just two doubles and seven singles over the course of his first 13 games for a .191 batting average and .517 OPS. Still, the Blue Jays believed a turnaround was coming. Meanwhile, Trent Thornton pitched into the sixth inning for his first major-league win – a milestone that holds significance at field level even as front offices and fans have shifted towards more advanced metrics. The right-hander even helped his own cause with two hits, becoming the first Blue Jays pitcher ever to collect two hits in his batting debut.
