MLB roundup: Jays cap epic sweep with 20-1 rout of Rockies

Blue Jays 20, Rockies 1

Toronto’s lineup went scorched-earth, piling up 20 runs and a franchise-record 63 hits over the three-game set. Davis Schneider slugged two of the Jays’ five long balls, while Ty France reached six times. Kevin Gausman (8-8) fanned eight across seven calm innings, surrendering just a first-inning run. It capped the most prolific three-game offensive stretch by any club since 1900. (Curious why totals markets balloon when a lineup heats up? Review Sportshub’s MLB betting basics.)
