Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion: Slugs 40th homer

Encarnacion went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in a 5-0 win over the Angels on Friday.

Analysis:

Encarnacion's 40th home run of the year gave Toronto some insurance in the ninth, extending the team's lead to five runs. He still trails Brian Dozier and Mark Trumbo in home runs, but his 118 RBI are tops in the American League. The 33-year-old has already established a new career high in RBI and is just two home runs away from matching his previous best, which he achieved in 2012.
