"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just answered who's the real MVP debate" - Fans erupt as Jays' $500M star homers off Shohei Ohtani in WS Game 4

Following a historic Game 3 that witnessed the Los Angeles Dodgers best the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 after 18 innings, two of the most in-form postseason players clashed in Tuesday's Game 4.

Three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, who was one of the protagonists on Monday, made his first World Series start in Game 4. It was a clash of heavyweights as Ohtani faced off against Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the plate.

Guerrero Jr., who signed a $500 million extension with the team at the start of the season, made a strong case for being the best hitter in the postseason after taking Ohtani deep for a two-run home run in the third inning.

Fans reacted to the Blue Jays star's heroics against the Japanese two-way phenom.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. makes history with two-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in World Series Game 4

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s two-run home run was his seventh homer of the postseason, the most by any Blue Jays player in MLB history. He surpassed Blue Jays icons Joe Carter and José Bautista for the remarkable milestone.

Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 at the plate, driving in two runs with two RBIs to the Blue Jays to a 6-2 win, tying the series 2-2 with the final game of the World Series at Dodger Stadium scheduled for Wednesday, before the series returns to Toronto for the remaining two games (if needed).
