TORONTO (AP) Ryan Feltner pitched five innings for his first win of the season and the Colorado Rockies had 20 hits in a 12-4 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.

Ryan McMahon had four hits, including a career-high three doubles, helping Colorado win in Toronto for the first time after nine consecutive defeats in Canada.

ā€œGood start to the road trip for us,ā€ McMahon said. ā€œHopefully we come out and do it again tomorrow.ā€

The Rockies hadnā€™t reached 20 hits since 2022, and hadnā€™t accomplished the feat on the road since 2013.

ā€œHopefully the group can build on this one,ā€ Rockies manager Bud Black said. ā€œThis was a good one against a good pitcher.ā€

Making his third start of the season, struggling Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (0-2) allowed six runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings. His earned run average rose from 9.53 to 11.57.

ā€œNothing good happened today,ā€ Gausman said. ā€œJust a lot of pitches, a lot of hits, a lot of doubles and a lot of runs. Not many positives.ā€

Gausman missed most of spring training because of a sore shoulder. He lasted 1 1/3 innings in Saturdayā€™s loss to the Yankees, his shortest outing since May 2019.

ā€œI donā€™t think he had his best command tonight,ā€ McMahon said of Gausman. ā€œWhen heā€™s hitting that bottom rail with those fastballs and throwing the splitter off them, heā€™s really tough. I thought we did a good job of not chasing it.ā€

McMahon hit doubles in the third, sixth and ninth innings, and had a single in the fourth. He drove in two runs and also scored twice.

Coloradoā€™s Nolan Jones and Ezequiel Tovar homered, and Kris Bryant hit a two-run double.

Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers reached base four times and came within a home run of the cycle. Rogers hit an RBI double in the second, walked in the fifth, singled in the seventh and tripled in the ninth.

Catcher ElĆ­as DĆ­az had two hits and scored twice for Colorado. DĆ­az also drove in a run, extending his career-best streak of games with at least one RBI to six.

Feltner (1-1) allowed two runs and eight hits, walked two and struck out four.

ā€œI fell behind a little bit more than I would have liked, but I was able to work through some of those situations and get out of them unscathed for the most part,ā€ Feltner said.

Daulton Varsho and Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit solo home runs, the first of the season for each, for the Blue Jays.

The Rockies were swept in three-game series at Toronto in 2002, 2007 and 2013.

The last time the Rockies had 20 hits was Aug. 9, 2022, at home versus St. Louis. Their last 20-hit game on the road was June 5, 2013, at Cincinnati.

TRAINERā€™S ROOM

Rockies: RHP Daniel Bard needs surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right elbow and will not pitch again this season, Black said. ā€¦ OF Charlie Blackmon was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game because of illness.

UP NEXT

RHP Dakota Hudson (0-2, 2.38 ERA) is set to start for Colorado on Saturday. After Fridayā€™s game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said RHP Yariel Rodriguez will be promoted from Triple-A Buffalo Saturday to make his big league debut as a starter. RHP Bowden Francis will move to the bullpen after two winless starts to begin the season.
