Blue Jays sweep Rockies with offensive explosion as they delivered a masterclass in offensive baseball. In a three-game series that saw them score a staggering 45 runs. From Dalton Varsho’s comeback to Bo Bichette’s power surge, the Jays showcased depth, discipline, and dominance at the plate. These Blue Jays broke franchise records for runs scored and hits in a 3-game series. They also improved the teams run differential by 39 as they continue to set the tone in the American League East. 

Returning from injury, Dalton Varsho wasted no time making an impact. His performance in the first two games was electric—crushing pitches and energizing the lineup. Though he sat out Game 3, Varsho’s early contributions helped set the tone for the series.

• Focus on contact hitting
• Two-strike approach adjustments
• Pressure on opposing defenses

This strategy is paying off in both runs and wins.
