FACTS/FLUKES: Encarnacion, Mauer, Scherzer, Gentry, Maurer

Encarnacion's home run rate hasn't slowed….With only two home runs in the first three weeks of the season, it looked like the nay-sayers were right—Edwin Encarnación (1B, TOR) had over-achieved in 2012. But thanks to a recent hot streak, Encarnacion is back on track to match last season’s HR totals.
