He said the finger wasn?t bothering him during his at-bats, as you might?ve guessed.
Guerrero injured his finger during the second inning when Aaron Hicks stepped on it, running out a base hit. With blood dripping from his hand, Guerrero opted for a trainer to tape it up so he could continue. He finished the game with three home runs against the Yankees, the second three-homer game of his career.
When asked if this game was his most impressive feat, Guerrero said, “Add that one to my list.”
Guerrero said his hand felt fine but expected some soreness to set in. He has nine hits in 23 at-bats for eight RBI, six runs, and four home runs this season. Guerrero is hitting .391, with a .417 OBP, and a 1.373 OPS.
The Blue Jays are tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for first in the AL East with a 4-2 record.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Toronto Blue Jays are +116 against the New York Yankees on Thursday.
