It wasn't supposed to be this difficult for the Toronto Blue Jays, who put up a half-run more than anyone in the majors after the All-Star break last season and haven't come close to that level of production in 2016. The Blue Jays' 5.70 runs per game from mid-July on dwarfed anyone else's production, but that number was at 3.90 - 19th in the majors - heading into Thursday's game against Texas.

As a player whose game traditionally picks up a few notches in May, Edwin Encarnacion sure sounded like a man who knew a big performance was just around the corner. The 33-year-old homered, doubled twice and drove in six runs as the Toronto Blue Jays powered past the Texas Rangers 12-2 on Thursday night. Since 2013, Edwin Encarnacion leads the majors in home runs. Continue to Article

The Kansas City Royals hadn't been hitting lately. It was the one constant during a surprising run to Game 7 of the World Series two years ago, and to their five-game whipping of the New York Mets last fall for the championship. ''This thing goes in cycles,'' manager Ned Yost insisted a day before Kansas City (14-13) opens a seven-game road trip Friday night in Cleveland. Continue to Article
