DENVER (AP) \u2014 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had four hits, including a home run, and Davis Schneider went deep twice as the Toronto Blue Jays capped their Coors Field onslaught Wednesday with a 20-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. <\/p>\n
The first-place Blue Jays finished with five homers and 24 hits to set a major league record with 63 hits in a three-game series. They established a franchise mark with 45 runs in the three-game set.<\/p>\n
Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also homered for the AL East leaders, who outscored the Rockies 45-6 in the series and are 26-11 since June 25. Toronto hit 13 home runs in the series.<\/p>\n
Ty France had four doubles and Clement added four hits. Bichette and Schneider had four RBIs apiece.<\/p>\n
Guerrero extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest current streak in the American League.<\/p>\n
Toronto scored its final eight runs in the ninth inning off Colorado catcher Austin Nola, who gave up eight hits \u2014 including homers by Schneider and Clement.<\/p>\n
Kevin Gausman (8-8) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked two.<\/p>\n
Bichette hit a three-run homer off Kyle Freeland (2-12) in the third for a 3-1 lead. Nathan Lukes had a two-run triple in the fifth and Schneider homered off Angel Chivilli to begin a five-run sixth. Guerrero connected in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Bichette and Daulton Varsho, who did not play Wednesday, both had three homers in the series.<\/p>\n
Guerrero went 8 for 17 with two homers and four RBIs. Bichette was 7 for 17 with 10 RBIs, and Lukes was 6 for 13 with six RBIs.<\/p>\n
