Blue Jays lose Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hamstring injury vs Nationals

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has 25 games left to not go a full season without a home run in Toronto. I cannot believe that's a sentence I just wrote.

#Bluejays gave it a good shot after Shane Bieber imploded in the first inning, but can't get to Clayton Beeter in top9 and lose 8-6 in DC. Back to 10 games under .500 and 5.5 out of the last AL wild card.

Eight years ago today, former Montreal Expos slugger Vladimir Guerrero and ex-Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jack Morris were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Also inducted were Chipper Jones, Trevor Hoffman, Jim Thome and Alan Trammell.

The Blue Jays have announced that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left tonight’s game in Washington with right hamstring tightness.

Final in Washington, Nationals 8, Blue Jays 6. AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOME JOURNEY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatorN4P9aA

Alas - winnable game. Not to kick a guy when he's down, but had Biebs not imploded at the start, we easily might have won this one. Glad to see some offensive life and I hope Vladdy's OK. George upping his trade value is bittersweet. #BlueJays

Hoffman seems to have finally figured out how he should pitch. And Schneider has figured out how to use him. Probably just in time for us to trade him. #Bluejays

I’m getting weary of listening to those obnoxious chants from the Washington fans. Wish there was something they could do on the audio to eliminate it. #BlueJays

Are there really that many Blue Jays fans in DC or is the stadium just empty? 😬

I think what is most surprising about this Blue Jays game is there is someone born after 1975 named Gus.

Bieber should have been pulled after the 4th walk. #BlueJays

I am not a #Nats fan. I’m a #Mets fan in the DMV. But, I swear, if the Nationals—who need starting pitching and veteran leadership for this run—let Max Scherzer leave town in a Blue Jays uniform, they’ll take it to their effing grave… …their effing grave.
