Through 599 plate appearances, Guerrero has added a .319/.409/.607 slash line with 100 RBI, 107 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Makes history Monday Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-0 win over the Yankees.
Impact His first-inning blast off Jameson Taillon made history in a couple different ways. At 22 years old, Guerrero became the youngest player in Blue Jays history to slug 40 homers in a season, and with his Hall of Fame dad and namesake, he's also now part of one of the only two father-son duos in MLB history to each record 40-homer campaigns (Cecil and Prince Fielder being the others). Guerrero also extended his hitting streak to 14 games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting a blistering .414 (24-for-58) with four home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs.

During his 13-game hitting streak, Guerrero has gone 21-for-53 (.396), although he's knocked just three home runs and a double in that span. For the year, he's slashing a stellar .318/.409/.598 with 39 homers, 97 RBI, 104 runs scored and four stolen bases across 580 plate appearances.

Impact The young superstar didn't manage an extra-base hit, but he still led Toronto in knocks in a wild and much-needed come-from-behind victory. Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the process, and he remains within striking distance of a Triple Crown if he can stay hot through September, as he's posting a .316/.407/.601 slash line with 39 homers, 97 RBI and 100 runs in 132 games on the season.
