Kazuma Okamoto hit two doubles and drove in three runs as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-5. Toronto erased a three-run deficit with a four-run seventh inning, capped by Nathan Lukes’ go-ahead single, while the bullpen kept Cincinnati scoreless after the Reds built their lead. The win snapped Toronto’s three-game losing streak, and Okamoto’s 92 RBIs led the Blue Jays. Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz also reached the 30-homer, 30-stolen-base milestone, becoming the fourth player in Reds history to do so. Before the game, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. apologized for comments he made about his contract on a podcast.
