After getting off to his traditionally slow start to the season, Encarnacion hit seven homers in the season’s second month. Jason Grilli was excited to join the Blue Jays for a few different reasons. And three, he has the chance to renew his relationship with Russell Martin, his former teammate in Pittsburgh.
