What a special game for Toronto.
Blue Jays' outfield trio is 1st in MLB history with such dominant hitting game originally appeared on The Sporting News
There's never been an outfield with a hitting game this good in MLB history.
Seriously. The Blue Jays' trio of outfielders on Saturday is unmatched.
Myles Straw stole the show. He was 3-for-5 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.
Straw entered the game with two homers this season. Now he's got four.
Davis Schneider added to the outfield mashing by going 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs. He also walked.
Then there was Daulton Varsho. He was 3-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, three runs and a walk.
It's the first time in MLB history that a team's starting outfield each reached base at least four teams and hit at least one home run, per OptaStats.

Andres Gimenez, Nathan Lukes, Ty France and George Springer each had a hit, as well.
It supported Eric Lauer, who lowered his season ERA to 2.76 in the victory. He's 8-2.
More importantly, the Blue Jays are now 73-51. They're rolling, still, and staying atop the AL East.
On this day, it was all outfielders.
