The Toronto Blue Jays capped a series for the ages Wednesday in Denver — and added to the woes of the Colorado Rockies in the process.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had four hits, including a home run, and Davis Schneider went deep twice as the Blue Jays routed the Rockies again at Coors Field, 20-1.
Toronto finished with 63 hits in the series, the most by a team in a three-game set since 1900.
But the offensive accolades didn't stop there.
The Blue Jays — who won the series opener 15-1 and then the middle game 10-4 — set a franchise record for runs (45) in a three-game series. It was the sixth time in franchise history (since 1977) that they scored at least 20 runs.
Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also homered Wednesday for the AL East leaders, who hit 13 home runs in the series. Ty France had four doubles and Clement added four hits.
Bichette and Daulton Varsho — who didn't play Wednesday — each had 10 RBIs in the series to become the first pair of teammates with 10 RBIs each in a series of three games or fewer since Edgar Martínez and Alex Rodriguez did so for the Seattle Mariners in 2000 — against Toronto.
Guerrero extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest current streak in the AL.
Toronto scored its final eight runs in the ninth inning off Colorado catcher Austin Nola, who gave up eight hits — including homers by Schneider and Clement.
