FACTS/FLUKES: Encarnacion, Nova, V. Martinez, Samardzija, J. Ramirez

Encarnacion remains steady contributor…When we checked in on Edwin Encarnación (DH/1B, TOR) in late May, things were not looking good. With a low BA and only a handful of HRs, it looked like his string of consistent production would end. Fast forward to the end of the season, and another strong year enters the books.
