Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has led the hitting barrage with three home runs and eight RBI, including a two-run shot in the first inning on Tuesday. Daulton Varsho and Ernie Clement each added key hits early, but the offense stalled after the third inning, going 3-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

Louis Varland gets the start on Wednesday after taking the loss in Game 3, giving up two runs in one inning of relief.
