NPB Central League: Yokohama DeNA BayStars 6 vs 3 Dragons
Jerar Encarnacion put on a jaw-dropping power showcase on August 12th, blasting two home runs—his 8th and 9th of the season—to lead the Yokohama DeNA BayStars against the Chunichi Dragons. With the game deadlocked at 1-1 in the top of the 4th inning, the powerful Dominican slugger smashed a go-ahead solo home run to put Yokohama in front. He then doubled down in the top of the 6th, launching another solo rocket deep into the stands for his 9th big fly of the year. Encarnacion finished a monster night going 3-for-5 with two RBIs, two runs scored, zero strikeouts, and a pair of long balls. By delivering a multi-homer, 3-hit performance and keeping his season average at a sizzling .303, Encarnacion solidifies his role as an absolute wrecking ball in the BayStars’ order.
