Carrera carries around parrot on 'Edwing Shirt Day'

It must've worked.

Prior to the Toronto Blue Jays' game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, the home team had a special giveaway.

It was "Edwing Shirt' giveaway day, in honor of the parrot arm Edwin Encarnacion throws up every time he hits a homer.

The players probably didn't get a shirt, but that didn't stop Blue Jays outfielder Ezequiel Carrera from having some fun. He carried a parrot around on his arm, and on his special day, Encarnacion went yard.

This was Encarnacion's eighth homer in eight games against Arizona since 2010, and his 19th of the season.
