Jerar Encarnacion reached a significant milestone on August 25th, crushing a towering solo home run—his 10th of the season—in the top of the 5th inning against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Stepping into the box in the 5th frame, the Yokohama DeNA BayStars slugger jumped all over a pitch, driving a rocket deep over the wall to hit the double-digit home run mark for the campaign. Encarnacion finished the day 1-for-5 with a home run, an RBI, and a run scored, while maintaining an outstanding .296 season batting average. Providing consistent middle-of-the-order power alongside high-contact hitting, Encarnacion continues to be a vital run-producer for the BayStars.
