Blue Jays' Teoscar Hernandez: Double shy of cycle Wednesday

Hernandez went 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's rout of the Royals.

Hernandez came up in the eighth inning needing a double to complete the cycle, but he struck out for his only blemish in what was otherwise a terrific day. He's started and hit second in all four games since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo, and has responded with three multi-hit efforts and five extra-base hits in that span. Hitting like that, Hernandez will presumably remain a mainstay near the top of the Toronto lineup until he starts to cool off.
