TORONTO -- 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.

Tampa Bay played 20 games in four playoff rounds that year after a pandemic-shortened regular season. Toronto played 18 games in three playoff rounds this season.

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 .
