Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion: Blasts 31st homer

Encarnacion had a big game Monday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI against the Rays.

Analysis:

The home run pulls Encarnacion even with Mark Trumbo for the MLB lead in homers (31), and his three RBI brings his total to a Major League-leading 94. The slugger had been hitting just .185 this month before battering the Rays, but now has three home runs and five RBI in eight August games.
