Haniger, Encarnación HRs Carry Mariners to 7-4 Win over Twins
Edwin Encarnación did everything for the Mariners on Sunday. He fell a triple shy of the cycle, but his 3-run home run put Seattle out of reach in the 7th inning.
Encarnación flashed the leather a few times as well, including this ridiculous diving catch.
