"With three hits in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday night, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement set a major league record with 30 hits in one postseason. Clement broke the mark previously held by Randy Arozarena, who had 29 hits as a rookie with the Tampa Bay Rays during the 2020 postseason. Arozarena and the Rays, like the Blue Jays on Saturday night, lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series."
"Clement singled in the second inning Saturday, singled and scored in the sixth and broke the record with a leadoff double in the eighth that chased Dodgers reliever Emmet Sheehan. Clement also extended his hitting streak to 13 games, a Blue Jays postseason record. Toronto catcher Pat Borders had a 12-game hitting streak in 1992. Playing in his first postseason, Clement boosted his batting average to .411 after going 3-for-5 in Game 7."
