Within that game, Rays position player Luke Raley threw 1.2 innings on the mound. While he was tagged for eight hits and seven earned runs in the appearance, he did get one very memorable strikeout of Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
On Thursday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports tweeted out a picture of Guerrero's hilarious reaction:
After Luke Raley pitched on Tuesday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. signed the strike out ball for Raley & wrote on the ball: “You got me.”
Love it.
All you can really do if you're Guerrero is laugh, so this is a perfect reaction. Despite the strikeout, Guerrero is having an excellent season. He's hitting .303 with eight homers and 34 RBI in 185 at-bats. He's got an .868 OPS as well.
One of the best young players in baseball, the 24-year-old Guerrero is a career .286 hitter with 112 homers and 344 RBI. He's already a two-time All-Star, a winner of a Gold Glove award, and he has received MVP votes in two different seasons.
At the time of this posting, the Jays and Rays are concluding their series in Tampa Bay. The Rays lead, 5-1, in the bottom of the fourth.
If Tampa holds on, they'll move to 37-15 while Toronto would fall to 26-25.
