Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered a playoff‑caliber blow for Toronto, blasting a grand slam off Will Warren with the bases loaded to underscore his late‑season timing and postseason poise. He sits at a scorching .833 in the series with a 2.464 OPS after a prior skid, proving his bat can erupt when it matters most.

The Rogers Centre crowd fed the energy as Toronto leaned on depth and discipline, while Trey Yesavage’s unusual high‑arm delivery unsettled New York and Max Fried’s hiccup reinforced the Jays’ offensive approach. One game remains for the Yankees to stave off elimination, but Toronto’s surge feels real and self‑contained.

Blue Jays battery powered by early solo shots, then a six-pitch walk by Trent Grisham opened the floodgates as Toronto unraveled the Yankees in a 10-1 rout. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk supplied the power, while Kevin Gausman battled through danger with splitter-fueled sequences. Toronto’s bullpen slammed the door and the offense exploded for seven more runs, reshaping the series narrative and highlighting Jays depth for fantasy pivots.

Fantasy angles tilt toward Guerrero Jr. and Kirk as obvious holds; Gausman’s sequence and Varland’s setup inning matter for pitching staff planning; Judge’s big-leverage at-bat remains a focal point for Yankees adjustments. The Jays’ all-around approach signals a blueprint to lean on in a long series.
