The Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game demolition of the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field with Wednesday’s 20-1 victory, sweeping the series while rewriting portions of the record book. Toronto’s hitters piled up 63 hits—the most by any club in a three-game set since 1901—and scored 45 runs, outscoring Colorado 45-6. The club’s 13 home runs matched a franchise high, and the 39-run differential was the second-largest in a three-game series in modern Major League history. Bo Bichette powered the surge with three homers and 10 RBIs, while Daulton Varsho matched the three-homer total, highlighted by a career-long 467-foot blast. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached base in all three games, going 8-for-17 with two homers, and Davis Schneider belted two of Toronto’s five long balls in the finale. Kevin Gausman worked seven strong innings of one-run ball on Wednesday to secure the sweep. The outburst lifted the Blue Jays to 68-48, three games clear of Boston for the American League lead. Toronto’s schedule stiffens immediately: Clayton Kershaw outdueled Max Scherzer in Los Angeles on Friday, handing the Blue Jays a 5-1 loss, yet the club heads into the season’s final seven weeks holding the AL’s best record and fresh momentum from its historic showing in Denver.
