Blue Jays vs. Guardians Game Highlights (6/23/24) | MLB Highlights

Tristan is coming off his shortest start of the year in his last outing. He must go out there today, establish his fastball for strikes mix in his off speed pitches. He could do that. I think good things will happen for Tristan. The next delivery is swung on sky in the air to right. Jonathan Rodriguez doesn't have to move much two pitches and one out, the 32 pitch low and inside and Horwitz gets on Vladimir Guerrero Junior steps up swings and powers of all deep left center field and that one is gone a two homer series for Guerrero. He hits a monster blast to put Toronto up in the first. We told you Tristan Mackenzie has trouble with walks and home runs and right on cue Brady Guerrero connects for a two run shot here in the first inning after Spencer Hoitz drew the walk good start for the blue Jays. Justin Turner now takes a walk. Second walk issued this inning by Mackenzie. I won bounce to the play. Turner takes off early. There's going to be a play at second, they got him and they're going to look at it but it looked like he was out and here's a look at the slide and the ball is there and you can see the tag by Sleman, whether or not he tagged him. Well, it, it looks like his helmet played a little bit of defense there. After you go on, the is overturned, the runner is safe. Toronto will retain their, the pitch and a strike three call that fastball at the knees locks up springer who can't believe the call. Now the 12 Barger, a swing and a miss good curveball struck him out and Cleveland's coming to bat. You say making his sixth career start against the Guardians. He has an zero and two record but a very impressive 2 4500 average waiting for the pitch from Kuchi gets the sign from Jansen and delivers and rips one to right field but back to make the grab, he kind of did one turn got in position called strike three slider on the inside edge and dominates freeman in that at bat. Two down, three, two swung on, drilled in the hole and in the left, the base hit jose Ramirez with the two out single means Josh Naylor gets to swing it swung on line drive base hit center ramirez hit second on his way to third. Kiermaier throw to third sliding safely feet first is Jose Ramirez beating the throw with that aggressive base running and the Guardians have runners at the corners and David Fry at the plate, the 11 swung on line drive base hit to right near the line over to cut it off is Springer in to score Ramirez on his way to third. Naylor throw comes all the way to third. Nobody's at second. And so Fried takes another base and the alert base running and the shotty defense continues this series and there's a four pitch walk here in the second mckenzie's pitch swing and a miss curveball down and in and Kiermaier chased it down. The 12 pitch strike three called and he knew it. Great looking curveball stays 2 to 1. Toronto in the middle of ending. Number two, here's Brian Roel, the pitch swung on roped into center, that's a base hit for Brian Roel near the gap. He'll make a turn, thought about it, puts the brakes on. Now. He scampers back to first with a head first dive. Number nine hitter and Martinez pitch swinging a ground ball base hit to right his first major league hit as Brian steps at second and that baseball will get tossed into the Cleveland Guardians dugout as Martinez has his first major league hit in his fourth major league at bat runner in scoring position for the second straight batter Tyler freeman hits a fly ball. George Springer on the run dives and he got it. How about that? From George Springer. He saves a run for us cucci and sends us to the third spencer Horwitz still in search of his first home run swing and a fly ball down the right field line that one deep. It's off the foul pole for a home run first of the season by Spencer Horwitz, second Blue Jays home run of the day. He knew that was gone off the bat. I think he was just waiting to see whether it would be fair or foul bottom of the third, Jose ramirez, Josh Naylor and Bailer is swung on, drilled into the gap of right center over to cut it off. Kiermaier. Hosey big turn. Hosey holds with the long single. Here's josh Taylor swung on and hammered to deep right field this ball off the wall, Ramirez on his way to third. Naylor going for two. He's in sliding with a double and he smoked that baby off the wall in right and Guardians at 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. And here's Bailer. Now the 32 up high, he walked a good at that. Now the bases are loaded. Now for Daniel Sman, the payoff pitch swung on line to short base hit into the left center. Ramirez scores Naylor's being stopped now he gets back to third diving and bases stay loaded and it's a 3 to 2 game give Schneeman an RB I single and the Guardians trail at 3 to 2. And that's when the rain came with jonathan Rodriguez at the plate. A 22 count when the tarp was called for ball four. We are tied at three. What? An at bat for Jonathan Rodriguez. Now the 01 pitch roo swings hits a ground ball to short KF up with it to second one to first double play as Horwitz had a problem getting a grip but still turned the double play. Cleveland takes the lead on the groundball, double play two out bottom of the 3rd, 1st pitch hit on the ground diving stop guerrero on the grounder flip back to pop and that will end the inning. And what a play by Vladimir guerrero jr Stephen Kwan opens the bottom half of the fourth inning. Here's his 11 swung on and there's a high fly ball to deep right. This one has a chance. Springer is looking up it another home run for stephen Kwan and the Guardians take a two run lead second in two days for Kwan and he tacks on to his career best.
