We’re only two games into the 2016 postseason but we already have two memorable three-run home runs. Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion hit the first on Tuesday night, a walk-off three-run shot against Ubaldo Jimenez to send the Jays to the ALDS against the Rangers.
Giants third baseman Conor Gillaspie laid claim to the second, breaking a scoreless tie with a three-run home run off of Mets closer Jeurys Familia in the top of the ninth inning at Citi Field. Familia threw a 1-1, belt-high sinker that Gillaspie did not miss.

As Daryl Van Schouwen reports, Giants starter Bumgarner said to Gillaspie in the dugout after the homer, “Conor, appreciate the hell out of that.”
