Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 extra-innings loss to Seattle.
Guerrero was responsible for the Jays' lone run Wednesday with a 459-foot solo blast off Logan Gilbert that tied the game 1-1 in the seventh inning. It's the third homer of the year for Guerrero, though he's gotten off to a slow start at the plate, going 10-for-50 with five RBI through his first 13 games. The 25-year-old Guerrero hit at least 30 homers with 90 RBI in each of his past two campaigns -- he slashed .264/.345/.444 across 602 at-bats last season.
Guerrero went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and one run scored in Monday's 5-2 win against Seattle.
Guerrero recently had a seven-game stretch during which he tallied just four hits over 24 plate appearances, but the slugger seems to be on an upswing over the past three contests with four hits, including two doubles and a homer. No matter if he's in a slump or hitting out of one, the 25-year-old will be a fixture in the Blue Jays lineup as he's been the No. 2 hitter in all 11 games to date.

Guerrero has seen his numbers decline the last two seasons after a monster 2021 campaign in which he produced 48 homers, 111 RBI and a 1.002 OPS, and his ability to rebound to something closer to that level of performance will be crucial to the Blue Jays' fortunes in 2024.
