On base three times in win Call went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

Impact Getting the start in center field in place of Jacob Young (finger) and batting sixth, Call broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-loaded single against a drawn-in infield that deflected off the mound and over Minnesota second baseman Brooks Lee. Call has four hits and five RBI in the last two contests, but that big weekend comes on the heels of an 0-for-13 stretch since July 11. Young isn't expected to miss much time, but Call should continue to start in his absence.

Three RBI off bench Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and one additional run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Twins.

Impact He was originally set to sit Saturday but entered in the third inning after Jacob Young (finger) exited. Call went on to drive in three runs, highlighted by his third home run of the season in the seventh inning. While the outfielder hasn't shown much power this year (.392 SLG), he's been effective overall, posting a .275 batting average and .372 OBP over 70 games. His counting stats -- nine doubles, three homers, two triples and 24 RBI -- are modest, but his 114 wRC+ entering the contest reflects above-average offensive production.
