Scary and sad news came from the Dominican Republic on Sunday night, when Red Sox legend David Ortiz was shot in a club and spent the night in the hospital. Thankfully, reports say Ortiz will be OK. On the field, Edwin Encarnacion hit two home runs for the Mariners on Sunday, giving him 400 home runs for his career. Speaking of home runs, the Nationals hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back dingers — that’s four in a row — against the Padres, and Max Muncy hit a long one into the San Francisco bay against Giants ace Madison Bumgarner.
Ortiz is in stable condition but still faces some hurdles in his recovery.

Edwin Encarnacion has had a quietly superb career, and he became just the third active player with 400 home runs.
Edwin Encarnacion hit his 400th career HR over the weekend. It’s a milestone that seemed out of reach not so long ago.

Oh, Max Muncy. A splash home run and then some choice words for Madison Bumgarner.
