Blasts fourth spring HR Walker went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's spring game against the Brewers.

Impact The blast was Walker's fourth in 27 spring at-bats, an encouraging sign for the first baseman who had just seven long balls over 218 at-bats in 2020.

I'm trusting some adjustments I made this offseason and trusting that that's going to be the result." Walker has been durable since becoming a regular in 2019, missing just 13 games the last two seasons.
