Kazuma Okamoto's 22nd home run ties Shohei Ohtani for the most by a Japanese-born rookie! 🇯🇵

It's an RBI for Guerrero his thirty eighth of the year. Cosmo Okamoto probably happy to see the pitching change even if it doesn't platoon as well for him. Two strikeouts swinging against J.P. Sears. Both of those strikeouts on change ups to. You will see a lot of change ups from Johnny Burrito about half the time. Both to righties and to lefties that last one. A slider at the top of the zone. Fastball their hit foul. Second year with the Padres back from a flexor strain and UCL can reconstruction surgery in his right elbow that cost him all of twenty twenty five. Pop up foul Machado converging with Duran and that's going to go into the Blue Jays dugout. His dugouts are not the largest in the big leagues either. So there'd be some late moves there till and see some Machado catching up a couple of former teammates. It definitely not as long in those dugouts I feel like as we're used to seeing we were kind of bobbing and weaving around. A bunch of different people down in the dugout before the start of the game. Oh Komodo lifts this one out to right field. Bowen going over and it'll go out of play. Oh Komodo just testing foul territory down the left field line down the right field line. So far seeing a little bit of everything from Burrito. Four seam returns. Swimmer sweeper sinker slider. Haven't seen that changeup yet though say everything but that changeup. Burrito who's in his third year overall because he also has some time with the Yankees. Come sat in with two on the pitch inside. There it was the changeup at eighty nine but a good take by Komodo comfortable take on that pitch too I know that pitch was well inside but the first time that he's seen that changeup especially after striking out on two changeups in the at bats as before. Swing and a fly ball left field going back Sheetz still tracking back Sheetz has run out of room a three run homer for Cosimo Komodo and the Blue Jays jump in front five to two. Home run number twenty two on the season for Cosimo Komodo and it gives the Blue Jays the lead here in the top of the fifth inning. He was fouling off pitch after pitch saw a change at this low and inside for a ball very next pitch he is all over the sinker low and in and you know what is it is the first appearance of the red home run drag jacket and the red home run dragon for the Blue Jays in this series first if they hope many and Komodo getting very familiar with both the jacket and the dragons he hits his twenty second home run of the year which is now tied for the most by a Japanese rookie in major league history Shohei Ohtani had twenty two as a rookie in 2018. Oh Komodo as a rookie here in twenty twenty six is twenty two four or five days ago the two nothing first inning deficit might have been too much for the Blue Jays but it doesn't feel like that right now. Springer doesn't love that call probably good reason for it it's one and two holds up on that one and two balls two strikes as we admire Okamoto's blast again gets a sinker low and inside watch his front foot to he almost opens up with his step to give him a little bit more space to get that barrel out in front of him. You almost think that with the way that he steps towards the left side of the field that pitchers might want to throw him away just a little bit more.
