PLAKATA 💥 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ties the ballgame with a 3-run blast! https://t.co/8ITafMJYgh Via @MLB on X

What happened: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a three-run home run to tie the game, per @MLB.

Why it matters: The blast comes days after Guerrero Jr. was replaced by the same Guerrero Jr. who was pulled from the AL All-Star roster in favor of Willson Contreras, with a power slump that had stretched to 67 games as of June 9.

By the numbers: Guerrero Jr. was removed from the AL All-Star roster on July 7 following a power drought that reached the 67-game mark by June 9.

What to watch: Watch whether the homer marks the start of a sustained power turnaround.
