The Toronto Blue Jays showed the difference between Major League Baseball’s haves and have-nots in historic fashion during their three-game series against the Colorado Rockies this week.<\/p>\n

In their three-game road sweep of the Rockies, the Jays outscored Colorado 45-6, and they totaled 63 hits, which was the most by a team in a three-game series since 1900, according to ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toronto put an exclamation point on the sweep with a 20-1 victory Wednesday at Coors Field. The Jays racked up 24 hits in the game, including four each from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ernie Clement and Ty France.<\/p>\n

The 45 runs scored in the series represented a franchise record for the Blue Jays in a three-game set, and Toronto also became the first team to have two players with 10 or more RBI in a series of three or fewer games since 2000.<\/p>\n

Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho accomplished the feat for the Jays, 25 years after Alex Rodriguez and Edgar Martinez of the Seattle Mariners last did it, coincidentally against the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

With three wins over the Rockies, the Jays own the best record in the American League at 68-48. They also lead the AL East by four games over the Boston Red Sox and 6.5 games over the struggling New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

However, Toronto has a tough road series on tap with the Los Angeles Dodgers, starting on Friday.<\/p>\n

As for the Rockies, their historically bad season continues to get worse, as their 34-80 record is the worst in MLB by 12 games.<\/p>\n

They also now have a minus-316 run differential, and their 114 games to reach minus-300 is the fewest in MLB since 1900, per ESPN.<\/p>\n

Colorado will start a three-game road series against the National League West rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Blue Jays showed the difference between Major League Baseball’s haves and have-nots in historic fashion during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-52381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
