Ernie Clement just keeps on hitting—and this time, he etched his name into Toronto Blue Jays history.

On Saturday, the Blue Jays' contact specialist delivered a masterclass at the plate, going a perfect 5-for-5 with five base hits, including a home run. That long ball was the cherry on top, marking his second of the season and capping off a day that had fans buzzing.

But Clement's performance was more than just a standout stat line. It placed him among an elite group in Toronto franchise history. With this five-hit game, Clement now has two such games in his career, joining an exclusive club of just six players to achieve multiple five-hit games in a Blue Jays uniform.

The list reads like a who's who of Toronto greats: Bo Bichette leads with four five-hit games, while the other four members—including current star George Springer—each have two. Clement's feat is even more remarkable when you consider that the Blue Jays' last two five-hit games have both been recorded by him.

Clement's approach is old-school: swing early, swing often, and make consistent contact. While he may not pack the power of some sluggers, his ability to put the ball in play—and get results—makes for a recipe that works in any era. When nearly every at-bat ends with a hit, it's always a good day at the office.
