After watching from home while his teammates won the AL East last year, hes delighted to be a part of the playoff push this season.This is what its about, Travis said.

I had to battle a lot.Encarnacion doubled the lead with a two-out homer, his 31st. It was Torontos 17th straight solo home run, the longest streak since the Giants hit 21 in 2011.Mikie Mahtook and Steve Souza Jr. tied it with RBI doubles in the fourth but the Blue Jays regained the lead on Encarnacions two-out, two-run single in the bottom half.They keep coming at you, Tampa Bays Brad Miller said of Toronto.
