The Blue Jays put a serious beating on the Athletics last night at the Rogers Centre as they put on a hitting clinic as they won 12-0 with 8 of they runs scored in the 2nd inning.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to be presented with Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Tip O'Neill Award on May 30 @BlueJays
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be presented with the @CDNBaseballHOF 2024 Tip O'Neill Award (Cdn player to have excelled in individual achievement) prior to tonight's game v. Athletics. 2nd time he's received the honour.
Other candidates: Josh Naylor, Cade Smith, Tyler O'Neill
The Tip O'Neill Award is given to a Canadian baseball player who excelled of the field individually while also contributing to helping his team in the highest ideals of baseball.
Guerrero ended up beating out Josh Naylor, Cade Smith and Tyler O'Neill for the award with his 30 homeruns, 103 RBIs, .323 batting average and .940 OPS which was one of the best seasons of his career.
Hopefully Guerrero can end up topping that at the end of this season but as he currently sits at 8 homeruns and 25 RBIs, it will certainly not be easy.
