Raps sixth home run in loss Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 17-6 defeat to the Brewers.
Impact Wallner blasted homer No. 6 for the campaign and his fourth of the month. The 27-year-old has held onto a fairly regular role in the Twins' outfield since coming off the injured list on May 31, and he's been a strong source of pop in spite of a paltry batting average. Although Wallner is hitting .155 over his last 58 at-bats, he's ripped five homers and two doubles with seven RBI during that period.

Lifts homer in return Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.
Impact Wallner returned to action Saturday after he missed a month and a half due to a hamstring strain. He made an early impact in his first game back, as his lone hit was a second-inning homer to open the scoring. The outfielder was able to play the full game in right field, and he should reclaim a majority of the playing time there moving forward. On the year, he's batting .262 with an .883 OPS, two homers, five RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases across 71 plate appearances. Wallner's return is likely to lead to a reduction in playing time for Kody Clemens.
