After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kicked off the day with a public apology for his recent comments about his $500 million contract, it felt like everything else would live in that shadow. The Blue Jays pulled off a comeback win, though, 6-5 over the Reds, rewarding their fans who packed Rogers Centre yet again despite their team being eliminated from postseason contention. This is what mattered most: **1\. Okamoto running away with major categories** Kazuma Okamoto ripped a bases-loaded double off the wall in left-center to tie this one, his second double of the night to continue what’s been a spectacular rookie season in Major League Baseball. Okamoto isn’t just leading the Blue Jays in home runs and RBIs, he’s towering above everyone else through 160 games. **Home runs:** 1\. Kazuma Okamoto -- 33 2\. George Springer -- 15 T-3. Alejandro Kirk -- 10 T-3. Nathan Lukes -- 10 **RBIs:** 1\. Kazuma Okamoto -- 92 2\. Andrés Giménez -- 58 3\. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. -- 57 Yes, you’re reading that correctly -- only two Blue Jays hitters have more than 10 home runs this season, and Okamoto has more than doubled the second-highest total in that category. It’s a leaderboard we’ll look back on a few years from now with confusion and amazement, but that’s for another day.
