  "account": "Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made history at Rogers Centre on Sunday, becoming the first player to hit a home run at his club's stadium in the 2026 season. Despite his recent slump, Guerrero claimed he never felt pressure or considered it the right time to achieve this milestone. He went on to enjoy a four-hit game, contributing two singles and a double that narrowly missed being a home run. The homer was part of a remarkable back-to-back-to-back trio of long balls for the Blue Jays, as George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto also hit consecutive home runs. The victory was Toronto's eighth in club history, following previous instances in 2005 and 2012. The 41,805 fans at Rogers Centre celebrated Guerrero's achievement with chants of \"Vla-ddy, Vla-ddy\" as he rounded the bases, displaying his signature celebratory moves.",
