Okamoto Ties Ohtani’s Rookie HR Record | MLB News

Description

Kazuma Okamoto just shattered Japanese baseball history, tying Shohei Ohtani’s rookie home run record with his 22nd blast of the season — a three-run homer that broke a tie and sealed a 5-3 Blue Jays win over the struggling Padres. Just days ago, Okamoto also hit his first grand slam, and at 30, he’s on fire. Ohtani himself recently hit his 300th career homer, becoming the first Japanese player to reach that milestone. Toronto’s winning streak hits three, while San Diego’s skid stretches to 11 of 14. Mason Fluharty earned the win, and Louis Varland nailed the save. Shane Bieber, recovering from forearm fatigue, pitched effectively in his fourth start. The teams face off again later today with new starters on deck.
