Toronto Blue Jays DH Edwin Encarnacion is crushing everything in his way.

Encarnacion extended his hitting streak to a 2015 major league-best 24 games with a three-homer, nine-RBI game in Saturday’s 15-1 romp over the Tigers.

The Blue Jays surpassed the 10-run mark for the 21st time. Next-best among major league teams is the Rangers with 12 such games. The Blue Jays have more 10-run games than the major league leader last season had (Rockies, 20) for the whole season.

The history

Encarnacion became the first player in Blue Jays history with a three-homer, nine-RBI game. The nine RBIs tied the club record set by Roy Howell in 1977, the Blue Jays' first season in the majors.

He’s the 16th player to have a three-homer, nine-RBI game since RBIs became an official stat in 1920. The last before Encarnacion might have been one of the most unlikely, Lonnie Chisenhall, last season.

Encarnacion is the second player to have three and nine against the Tigers. The other was Fred Lynn for the Red Sox in 1975.

He’s the first player with a grand slam, a three-run homer and a two-run homer in the same game since Alex Rodriguez did so for the Yankees against the Angels in 2005.

Encarnacion is the second player in Blue Jays history with multiple three-homer games (he had one for them before Saturday). Carlos Delgado is the franchise’s all-time leader with five.

The hit streak

Encarnacion is within striking distance of the Blue Jays record for longest hitting streak, a 28-gamer set by Shawn Green in 1999.

Encarnacion’s is the longest for the Blue Jays since Scott Rolen hit in 25 straight games for them in 2009.

He’s hitting .400 with a .462 on-base percentage and .856 slugging percentage since the streak began on July 26. His OPS in that span is 1.318, 137 points better than the player who had the next highest entering Saturday night’s games (Joey Votto, 1.181).

Encarnacion has a major league-leading hard-hit rate of 28 percent during the hit streak. That stat measures how often a hitter records a hard-hit ball (parameters determined by companies who do video review for major league teams). Encarnacion’s rate is more than twice that of the average major leaguer in that span.

Encarnacion has almost as many line drives (21) as ground balls (23) during the streak. He's hitting pitches of every type: 14 of his 36 hits and five of his 10 home runs have come against off-speed pitches.

And as you can see below, there aren't many places a pitcher can attack to get him out.
