VIDEO: Edwin Encarnacion hits 2 more bombs at Fenway
Edwin Encarnacion is feasting on Boston Red Sox pitching for the second consecutive game.
The Toronto Blue Jays first baseman hit two long balls in a 7-4 victory over the BoSox on Tuesday night and has launched a pair of homers - a solo shot and a two-run blast - in his first two at-bats Wednesday.
Here's a look at his first long ball off Clay Buchholz:

Encarnacion's 11 homers in the month leads the MLB and he's closing in on Jose Bautista's club record of 12 round-trippers in May.
EE's fourth multi-HR game in May makes him first #BlueJays player with that many in a single month.

Encarnacion does, however, have a long way to go in order to establish himself as the greatest home run hitter in May. Barry Bonds launched a major-league record 17 bombs in May of 2001.
