Davis Schneider hit two of Toronto's five home runs to back seven strong innings by Kevin Gausman, and the Blue Jays routed the Colorado Rockies 20-1 in Denver on Wednesday afternoon.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also went deep while Ty France reached six times -- on four hits and twice hit by a pitch.
Clement and Guerrero added four hits apiece, and Bichette, Addison Barger, Tyler Heineman and Myles Straw had two hits each for Toronto, which posted a season-high runs total for the second time in the series.
Schneider, Bichette and Nathan Lukes had four RBIs each.
Toronto, which swept the three-game series, scored in double digits in all three games, finishing with 45 runs, 13 home runs and 63 hits in the series.
Gausman (8-8) improved to 3-2 in his home state with another solid outing. He scattered three hits, fanned eight and didn't allow a runner past second base after the first inning.
Ezequiel Tovar had two of Colorado's three hits in the game.
The Rockies took the lead in the first when Tyler Freeman led off with a single and scored on Tovar's one-out double.
Bichette hit a three-run homer in the third, his 16th of the season and third in two games, and the Blue Jays padded their lead in the fifth on Lukes' two-run triple.
Jaden Hill relieved Kyle Freeland and gave up an RBI single to Heineman. Freeland (2-12) allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out four in 4 2/3 innings.
Toronto put it away in the sixth inning. Schneider led off with his first homer of the day, France had a run-scoring double and Barger followed with an RBI single.
Guerrero led off the eighth with his 18th home run, France and Barger singled before France scored on a groundout.
The Jays then put up eight runs in the ninth inning.
With Colorado catcher Austin Nola on the mound, Guerrero and Bichette had RBI doubles before Barger and Lukes hit sacrifice flies. Schneider added a three run-homer, his seventh of the season, and Clement hit his sixth homer of the season to increase the lead to 19 runs.
