Bo Bichette homered twice, singled and drove in six runs, Ernie Clement had a career-high five hits, and the Toronto Blue Jays routed the Colorado Rockies 15-1 in Denver on Monday.
Toronto's Daulton Varsho went deep for the first time since coming off the injured list on Friday and finished with two hits and four RBIs.
Nathan Lukes and Joey Loperfido had three hits apiece and Addison Barger, Alejandro Kirk and Davis Schneider contributed two hits each as the Blue Jays collected season highs in runs and hits (25) to back a strong outing by Eric Lauer (7-2).
The left-hander entered Monday with 0-6 with a 12.73 ERA across seven starts in Denver, but he held Colorado to one run on seven hits over six innings. Lauer struck out four and walked one.
Ezequiel Tovar had two hits for Colorado, including an RBI single.
Toronto scored quickly against Rockies starter Tanner Gordon (2-4). Lukes led off the game with a double and scored on Bichette's single, but Gordon got out of the inning without further damage.
The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the second on Schneider's RBI single, then opened it up in the third.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Barger began the inning with singles. Both moved up on Kirk's flyout to right before Varsho homered over Colorado's bullpen to make it 5-0, his ninth of the season.
Clement followed with a triple and scored on Loperfido's single. Loperfido scored on Schneider's double.
That ended the night for Gordon, who allowed seven runs on 11 hits over 2 2/3 innings. He walked none and fanned one. Ryan Rolison came on and walked Lukes before Bichette hit his first homer of the night.
The Rockies got to Lauer with two outs in the fifth when Tyler Freeman doubled and scored on Tovar's single.
Toronto put the game away in the seventh against Carson Palmquist. Clement, Lukes and Loperfido singled to bring home one run, and Bichette hit his second homer of the night and 15th of the season. A walk and singles by Kirk and Varsho brought home another run.
Clement's RBI double in the ninth finished the scoring.
