Edwin Encarnacion hit not one, but two home runs in the same inning
If you're reading this, there's a decent chance you haven't hit a Major League home run. If you have, good for you! But if you haven't, you no doubt have an understanding of how great it must feel to square up a pitch and blast it into the stratosphere.
How about hitting two homers in a game? Doubly fun. How about hitting two homers in the same game, in the very same inning? That's dream-level stuff, and it's what Edwin Encarnacion did in the sixth inning of the Mariners' 13-5 win over the Royals on Monday night.

Amazingly, this isn't the first time Encarnacion has dingered twice in the same inning. He did it in 2013 as a member of the Blue Jays. No, seriously:
That's gotta feel pretty amazing. Times two.
Good to see Edwin being a good influence on his new @Mariners teammates.😂 pic.twitter.com/kiFjkvu1VH

Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
