Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits his first home run at Rogers Centre in over a year, doing so during a Sunday win over the Baltimore Orioles. Multiple outlets say the homer comes in the fifth inning of an 8–1 game, off Baltimore pitcher Trevor Rogers, and is followed by a visible celebration in the Blue Jays’ dugout.
The outlets describe the timing as notable: the home run arrives late into the season’s home schedule and is characterized as a breakthrough amid a difficult stretch for the player. One report notes it is his first Rogers Centre homer after waiting until his 75th home game. Another adds that he has only hit nine home runs overall this season and that the prior regular-season homer at Rogers Centre came on Aug. 17, 2025, in a loss to Texas.
While all accounts agree on the matchup, inning, and scoreline, they differ slightly in emphasis—some focus on the number of home games waited, others on his season totals and the gap since his last Toronto homer.
