The Toronto Blue Jays need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) to be successful, but not against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. They won 7-3 at PNC Park without their star after he left Monday’s 5-2 loss early.

The greater concern, hovering over all the chaos of a 5-2 loss, is uncertainty around Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s hamstring.

Toronto started Tuesday with a 73-53 record, but has dropped back-to-back games.
