The Blue Jays improved by 10 victories and still finished fourth in the difficult AL East but could this team hit home runs. The Blue Jays led the AL with 257 home runs featuring an offense with six 20 home run hitters. Jose Bautista’s 54 home runs were the most in the AL and shattered George Bell’s 1987 team record. The Blue Jays survived the trade of Roy Halladay with four double-digit winners, including Shaun Marcum, who returned from injury and won 13 games.
