Kazuma Okamoto humorously blamed a missing quesadilla for not hitting a third home run after his first career multi-homer game on May 1, 2026. The game took place against the Minnesota Twins in Toronto, Canada.
In that match, Okamoto hit two home runs. He went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored. This performance marked a significant moment in his career.
As of early May, Okamoto has seven home runs this season. His overall stats include 18 RBIs and 15 runs scored. He currently holds a slash line of .228/.313/.430.
Okamoto’s strikeout rate is close to 30 percent. However, he has shown power with an average exit velocity of 92.8 mph, placing him in the 90th percentile among MLB players.
Prior to this game, he had been on a hot streak, slashing .289/.385/.644 over a 13-game stretch. During that time, he drove in 14 RBIs and scored 10 runs.
After the game, Okamoto attributed his missed opportunity for a third home run to not having his pre-game quesadilla. “I didn’t have my pre-game quesadilla today. I think if I’d had that, it would have been a home run,” he said.
The Toronto Blue Jays have relied heavily on Okamoto’s contributions this season, especially after a rough start. Fans are eager to see if this performance will lead to more consistent outings from him.
As the season progresses, it remains uncertain how these performances will impact the team’s overall success.
