What happened
Kazuma Okamoto hit a 3-run home run that put the Blue Jays ahead of the Padres in San Diego. The ball traveled 377 feet, giving Toronto the lead in the contest.
Okamoto's blast came a night after the Blue Jays took the series opener from San Diego, 5-3.
Why it matters
The homer extends a strong recent stretch for Okamoto, who is already tied with Shohei Ohtani atop MLB's Japanese-born rookie home run list. Another long ball keeps him in that conversation as the season progresses.
For the Blue Jays, the go-ahead swing adds another data point to a lineup that has found timely power at key moments in San Diego.
By the numbers
Okamoto's home run measured 377 feet, per @MLBHR. Toronto enters at 44-49 on the season and has won two straight games. San Diego sits at 46-47 and had dropped its most recent outing before this one.
What to watch next
Toronto looks to build on Okamoto's homer as the game continues in San Diego, with the Blue Jays aiming to back up Friday's series-opening win.
