Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion: Sends ball into orbit Wednesday at Chase Field

Encarnacion went 1-for-4 with one walk and a two-run homer Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Encarnacion didn't need to provide any more evidence that he enjoys hitting at Chase Field, but that didn't seem to matter Wednesday afternoon. The veteran slugger's two-run shot in the top of the eighth inning was absolutely crushed. According to Statcast, Encarnacion's 26th of the season went a projected 471 feet and left his bat at 112 mph. That was the longest home run Encarnacion has hit in the Statcast era (2015 to present), and the fourth longest hit by anyone this season. He now has 10 home runs in 17 career games at Chase Field.
