The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Detroit Tigers 9-3 on Tuesday night with five home runs from Kevin Kiermaier and a three-run bomb from Alejandro Kirk. Not to mention a fantastic leaping catch at the center field wall by Kiermaier.
Kiermaier has drawn notice for his exceptional outfield defense, powerful arm, lightning-quick closing speed, and knack for successfully stealing home runs.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kept the ice-bucket tradition alive
The Toronto Blue Jays started a post-game custom of ice bucket celebrations during their 2015 postseason run. This entails athletes and coaches throwing ice-cold water buckets over the heads of teammates who significantly aided the team's victory that particular day.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made his major league debut in April 2019 and is the son of former Major League Baseball player and Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr. He is recognized as one of the top active hitters in MLB and is a right-handed batter and thrower.
