NEW YORK (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a message for booing Yankee Stadium fans, pointing to them and putting a finger to his lips in a shushing sign when rounding third base on his seventh-inning home run Saturday night.

Toronto trailed 9-2 before Guerrero led off the inning with an opposite-field drive to right-center off Luke Weaver.

Guerrero pointed to fans while between first and second base during his home run trot. He stopped near the shortstop position and hopped, and then continued circling the bases. As he passed third, he raised his right index finger to his lips.
