FACTS/FLUKES: Encarnacion, Cobb, Moreland, B. Norris, Eaton

Encarnacion could top recent production…Life lesson: when Edwin Encarnación (1B, TOR) starts slowly, be patient. After hitting only two homers in April 2014, Encarnacion turned it on, hitting 16 in May. He was well on his way to a monster season before losing six weeks to a quad injury in the second half.
