Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak has been named the American League player of the week.

Smoak had seven hits and two home runs, including a game-winning grand slam on Sunday, as the Blue Jays split a season-opening four-game series with the New York Yankees.

Smoak is hitting .467 so far this season with eight runs batted in over 15 at-bats.

Washington outfielder Adam Eaton won the National League weekly award after batting .615 over the Nationals’ first three games of the season.
