Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits MLB-leading 46th home run

Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took sole possession of first place in the major leagues by hitting his 46th home run of the season Friday night.

The Blue Jays slugger hit a 0-1 pitch from Minnesota Twins starter Michael Pineda over the wall in left field to break a tie with Kansas City's Salvador Perez atop MLB's list.

According to MLB, Guerrero tied Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio for the second-most homers in a season by a player 22 years old or younger and moved within one of the record holder Eddie Mathews. Mathews hit 47 in 1953 for the Milwaukee Braves at age 21.
