Watch: Encarnacion blasts ball out of Fenway, possibly into New Hampshire

If anybody in New Hampshire happens to find a baseball lodged in their windshield Tuesday morning, that may be on Edwin Encarnacion.

The night earlier, after all, in the top of the fifth inning at Boston's Fenway Park, the Cleveland Indians slugger launched a two-run homer out of the ballpark that, at first glance, seemed destined to land another state over, perhaps in Nashua or Manchester. (According to Statcast, the blast, Encarnacion's 25th of the season, actually traveled 424 feet after coming off his bat at 111.7 miles per hour.)

An inning later, incidentally, Encarnacion crushed another home run, a comparably meager 396-foot solo shot, giving him three multi-homer games in 2017.

Encarnacion, a three-time All-Star, has very much enjoyed hitting at Fenway Park throughout his 13-year career, having smacked 15 homers while managing an .888 OPS in 52 games in Boston coming into Monday's make-up contest.
