Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion: Homers in win over Giants

Encarnacion homered, his sixth, and knocked in a pair of runs in Monday's win over the Giants.

Analysis:

Encarnacion has doubled his home run total over the last six games. Over those six games he has 10 RBI and six extra-base hits and has raised his batting line from .236/.299/.368 to .254/.315/.454 in that span. Power hitters like Encarnacion can be particularly streaky. Now that he's hitting one of his big hot streaks, he's starting to look like the hitter who earned MVP votes in three of the past four seasons.
