WEST SACRAMENTO -- Kazuma Okamoto is closing on a high note.On Tuesday night, the Blue Jays rookie continued his scorching September by homering for the second straight game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park.

Across MLB, only the Reds’ Sal Stewart (31 homers) has more.The former Nippon Professional Baseball star has been one of the Blue Jays’ best offensive producers since signing a four-year, $60 million deal in the offseason. He entered the night batting .304 (7-for-23) with an .882 OPS in six games in September, a welcome sight after Okamoto struggled offensively for much of the second half.The third baseman continues to extend his own franchise record for home runs by a rookie: His 25th of the year, back on Aug. 18, broke a tie with Eric Hinske (24 in a Rookie of the Year-winning 2022 season) for sole possession of the mark.
