M's Encarnacion homers twice in same inning

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Seattle Mariners slugger Edwin Encarnacion homered twice in the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night, becoming the fifth player to do it twice in a career.

Encarnacion also accomplished the feat with the Blue Jays against the Astros on July 26, 2013. The only other players to homer in the same inning twice are Alex Rodriguez, Jeff King, Andre Dawson and Willie McCovey, per STATS data.

Encarnacion is the first to hit two home runs in an inning in almost three years. Mark Trumbo of the Angels did in on April 15, 2016, at Texas. The last Mariners to do it were Bret Boone and Mike Cameron, who did it in the same game at the Chicago White Sox on May 2, 2002. Cameron hit four home runs in that game, tying the major league record.

"When [Encarnacion] hits it, it just sounds different,'' said teammate Daniel Vogelbach. "He's done it for a long time, and he does it every single year. I think I've seen most of them against us. It's a lot better to see them when he hits them for us.''

The hot-hitting Mariners combined for five homers in Monday night's 13-5 win and improved to 10-2, the first team in the majors with double-digit victories.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
