Blue Jays Edwin Encarnacion Extends Hitting Streak to 25 Games

Whatever that is… SWEEP! Lowe escaped the inning without allowing further damage. It matters exactly zero percent but it’s part of history. He flied out to the warning track in right in the third, was hit by Simon’s 47 miles per hour eephus pitch in the fifth and singled in the seventh.

The Blue Jays have reason to feel that way. What will Edwin Encarnacion do for an encore? Donaldon singled home a run later in the inning to make it 9-2.

The Rangers will close out this series with the Orioles on Sunday to end a small homestand before heading west for 10 games.

When you’re winning games as the Jays are, there are no complaints.

We’ve seen this story before.

Encarnacion was left on deck for the final out in the eighth, costing him a chance to match the major league mark for home runs in a game.

Fiers (2-0) struck out five while surrendering one run, on a bases-loaded double-play grounder hit by Trevor Plouffe in the fourth. “Most major leaguers do it at one time or another“.

According to VICE, this sudden influx of hats resulted in a game delay of several minutes as Rogers Centre staff rushed to clean the field. But, being a good former teammate and CF brother, Gose allowed Pillar enough time to get back to first and the inning continued. But I’ve seen it happen before.

During the hitting streak, Encarnacion is batting. Early on I think he was kind of scattering it in the strike zone. Thanks for the memory, Alfredo. Second baseman Ian Kinsler lined out to Donaldson, whose throw to second in an attempt to double up Davis went into the outfield for an error. The 2015 Toronto Blue Jays are similar, only with a super-sized offence. The right-hander, who threw 88 pitches, has allowed two or fewer runs in four starts.

ROYALS 6, RAYS 3 (at St. Petersburg, Fla.) – Mike Moustakas had three hits and three RBI, and Kendrys Morales kept up his torrid two-out hitting for Kansas City. He left in line for the win.

It’s hard not to like what the Blue Jays have going.

Victor Martinez led off with a walk in the seventh. No harm done. “But I was given the ball today and I was able to show what I could do with it”. I’ll take the win to lessen my sorrow.

Goins started the three-run sixth against right-hander Guido Knudson with a single. The second game of the series didn’t go so well for the Rangers as the Jays scored 12 unanswered runs after Adrian Beltre hit a two run homerun in the bottom of the first en route to a 12-4 win for the Jays.

Andy Dalton sneaked in for a touchdown on Cincinnati’s opening drive, then came out of the game as a precaution with a sore neck on Saturday night during a 21-10 preseason victory over the Chicago Bears.

“It’s a very potent lineup”, catcher James McCann said. If someone has the gif of that I ask you post it in the comments. We’re still scoring runs.

Mark Melancon recorded his 43rd save. The Blue Jays play host to the Cleveland Indians beginning Monday….
