Kazuma Okamoto has set a Toronto Blue Jays milestone. He went down on strikes for the 171st time this season on Friday. That tops every single-season strikeout total ever recorded by the club. The game happened in Toronto against the Baltimore Orioles on September 11. It was by no means what he wanted. Okamoto smashed his 31st home run in that contest. Strikeouts are not a positive for a batter. Sportsnet and Yahoo Sports confirmed the feat. The Blue Jays played host to the Orioles that evening.
