Blue Jays skipper Charlie Montoya has been waiting all season for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get hot.
Two grand slams in the last 10 days hot enough?
The budding young star hit the latest in the ninth inning Tuesday night, giving him a career-high five RBIs and punctuating Toronto’s 9-1 rout of the Kansas City Royals. The 20-year-old Guerrero is the fourth-youngest American League player ever to drive in five runs in a game.
The Royals stranded 14 while going 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position.
The Royals send right-hander Jakob Junis (6-9, 5.03) to the mound to cap their miserable homestand Wednesday afternoon. Jacob Waguespack (1-1, 5.63) is getting the ball for the Blue Jays.
