CLEVELAND– After the Indians’ 12-4 win against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon, Edwin Encarnacion returned to his locker and had an incoming FaceTime from one of the top hitters in the sport.
As reporters waited to chat with Encarnacion following his three home run outing, he chatted with Albert Pujols, who called to congratulate him on his busy afternoon.
“We used to talk a lot,” Encarnacion said. “He called me almost everyday, we’d talk about hitting. He’s a great guy.”
The final stats for Encarnacion’s game: 3-for-5 from the plate with three homers and a season-high six RBI.
