Kazuma Okamoto just set the Blue Jays' rookie RBI record, right after Guerrero ended his drought.

Toronto sits one game back of the Guardians for the final wild-card spot heading into Sunday's game against Baltimore, and a few key homers made the difference.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first home run at Rogers Centre this season, a moment that felt almost impossible to believe after 68 games in his own ballpark without one.

Okamoto followed almost immediately, going deep in the fifth inning right after Guerrero's homer, pushing the score to 4-1.

That solo shot was his 32nd home run of the season and his 85th RBI, a number that now stands as the most any rookie has ever driven in for the Blue Jays.

"HISTORY FOR BIG OAK," the Blue Jays wrote on X. "Kazuma Okamoto: Toronto Blue Jays rookie RBI record, passes Eric Hinske."

Why Okamoto's season deserves more attention

Passing Hinske is real franchise history, a name that's stood as the previous benchmark for rookie production in Toronto.

Okamoto's rookie season has been genuinely excellent, even if the team's overall struggles this year have kept it from drawing wider national attention.

That's the honest trade-off of a strong individual season on a team that's spent most of the year fighting just to stay relevant in the standings.

With 12 games left after Sunday's matchup, Okamoto has real room to add to this record before the season ends.

There's a good chance he finishes well clear of 85 RBIs, building a mark that could stand for a long time in franchise history.

Guerrero's homer matters just as much for the bigger picture. Ending that specific drought, after a season defined by his offensive struggles, gives Toronto's lineup one more reason for confidence during this playoff push.

Between Okamoto's record-setting production and Guerrero potentially rediscovering his power at exactly the right moment, Toronto's offense has real reasons for optimism heading into the final stretch.
