Blue Jays Ernie Clement, Louis Varland set playoff records in Game 7
Ernie Clement made history for the Toronto Blue Jays by extending his playoff hit streak to 13 games in Game 7 of the World Series, breaking Pat Borders' long-standing record of 12 games set in 1992. Throughout the post-season, Clement accumulated 28 hits while maintaining a . 353 batting average, only failing to hit in two games. His streak began during Game 2 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners and included five extra-base hits. At the same time, reliever Louis Varland set a new MLB record for playoff appearances with his 15th outing, surpassing the previous record held by Brandon Morrow and Paul Assenmacher.
Varland joined the Blue Jays from the Minnesota Twins and had a 4. 94 ERA in 23. 2 regular-season innings. Both records underscore the players' significant contributions to the Blue Jays' playoff success. The Blue Jays' achievements this post-season reflect their competitive spirit and depth in talent.
As the franchise continues to build on its history, these milestones will be remembered in their quest for a championship.
