Apr 24, 2019 | 11:39 AM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Top Toronto Blue Jays prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr., hit the go-ahead home run to lift the Buffalo Bisons to a 5-4 win over the Syracuse Mets in triple-A action on Wednesday.

Playing as the designated hitter, Guerrero’s solo shot in the seventh gave the Bisons a 5-4 win.

The game marked Guerrero’s third in three days, the first time he’s done that since suffering an oblique injury last month during spring training.

Guerrero, who normally plays third base, went 2-for-5 on Wednesday to raise his average to .367 in eight games with Buffalo this year. The 20-year-old Guerrero, who was born in Montreal and raised in the Dominican Republic, has three home runs and eight RBIs.
