Jensen laced a slider from Ranger Suarez down the right-field line to get the Royals on the board in the sixth inning. The young catcher has been on fire at the plate, slashing .317/.432/.800 with seven homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base over his past 16 contests. On the year, Jensen is slashing .231/.318/.452 with 24 homers, 71 RBI, 73 runs and two stolen bases in 138 games.

Jensen went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored during the Royals' 3-2 win over the Red Sox on Friday.

Jensen came around to score in the first inning on a Salvador Perez RBI single. The former added an RBI double of his own in the third before coming home to score later in the frame for what turned out to be the game-winning run. It was Jensen's fourth multi-hit game of September, and so far this month, he's gone 12-for-34 (.353) with 11 extra-base hits (including four home runs), nine RBI and 11 runs scored.

Jensen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Jensen has contributed six homers over his last 12 games, going 13-for-44 (.295) in that span. The catcher is thriving out of the leadoff spot with his recent power surge. Overall this year, he's batting .229 with a .761 OPS, 23 homers, 69 RBI, 70 runs scored, 29 doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 136 contests.
