(I'm excluding the one three-game streak that spanned multiple seasons: the Blue Jays scored double-digit runs in each of the last two games of the 2021 season, then piled up 10 runs on Opening Day in 2022.).

This also marks just the sixth time in franchise history that the Blue Jays have scored double-digit runs in three straight games.
52 hits (so far) in a 3-game series is a franchise record for the Blue Jays.

Relative to their league, the 2025 Blue Jays have the best strikeout-avoiding offense this *century*. Correlation isn't causation, of course, but the other teams from the last 25 years that are comparable outliers in terms of their contact ability have fared pretty well.

Daulton Varsho is going to play 61 games this season and lead this team in homers.
Daulton Varsho: Big Denver guy. His 2nd home run in two days here, this one a rocket out to right field to put the #BlueJays up, 3-2.
