In what has been a dominant offensive series for the Blue Jays on the road against the Colorado Rockies, an Addison Barger two-run single in the top sixth of Wednesday’s finale gave Toronto 52 total hits (and counting) in the three games.
Barger’s hit broke the previous club record for hits in a three-game series, which the Blue Jays set with 51 against the Boston Red Sox on July 22-24, 2022.
The Blue Jays piled up 25 hits in the series opener which they won 15-1, then added another 14 in Tuesday’s 10-4 win. They finished Wednesday’s 20-1 win with 24 hits to set the new club record at 63 hits over three games.
In the top of the ninth inning, the Jays then set not only a team record, but a modern-day MLB record for runs in a three-game series with 45. Bo Bichette scored on a Barger sacrifice fly to drive in Toronto’s 41st run of the series, topping its previous club record set from the same July 2022 series against Boston.
Toronto was doing much more than just putting the ball in play, however, as they also crushed 13 home runs over the three games.
