This time, it was Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who brought the crowd to its feet with a moment of pure power and precision. His eighth-inning, three-run blast into the left field seats sealed a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox, capping off a clutch two-game stretch that flipped the current script in the American League East rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t just any home run. Guerrero&#8217;s shot left his bat at over 110 mph\u2013 a trademark missile\u2013 and marked his 56th career homer with that kind of exit velocity, according to Sportsnet Stats on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Down 0-2 in the count, Guerrero didn&#8217;t panic. He unloaded on a pitch that turned a tense moment into one of the best MLB highlights of the season so far.
