"As well, Clement set another record earlier in the game. With a single in the second inning, he set a new MLB record for the most singles in a single postseason with 22. This also set a franchise record for the Blue Jays, with the right-hander extending his postseason hit streak to 13 games, overtaking Pat Borders for the record."
"The New York native has been a pesky bat this postseason, and while he hasn't been producing with power like many expect from postseason contributors, he did it his own way through contact and putting the ball in play. This was evident in Game 7, when he helped elevate Shohei Ohtani's pitch count early on. For the postseason, Clement owns a .417/.421/.569 slash line with his 30 hits, six doubles, one triple, and one home run."
Ernie Clement recorded 30 postseason hits, setting a new MLB single-postseason hits record. He added a double in the bottom of the eighth of Game 7 to reach the mark. Earlier in the game he hit his 22nd single of the postseason, breaking the MLB and Blue Jays franchise record for singles in a single postseason. Clement extended his postseason hit streak to 13 games, surpassing Pat Borders. The New York native generated contact and on-base value rather than power, helping elevate opposing pitch counts. For the postseason he hit .417/.421/.569 with a .990 OPS, nine RBIs, and a .426 BABIP.
