Encarnacion Excels, Toronto 2015 Blows Out Kansas City 2014
Toronto 2015 designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion had 5 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Kansas City 2014 Royals, 13-3. The winner was R A Dickey, who threw 93 pitches over 7.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits. The Blue Jays, with just their 1st win in 6 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.

Devon Travis contributed a productive at-bat in the top of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he drew a walk. It was one at-bat that helped Toronto 2015 get the win.

Travis told a Toronto 2015 Today reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.
