Wallner Powers Twins Past Padres with Key Homer
by Jesse Garcia | Twins Correspondent | Wed, Aug 21st 10:03pm EDT
Matt Wallner made his presence felt in the Twins' 11-4 victory over the Padres, delivering crucially with his bat.
Fantasy Impact:
He went 1-for-4, highlighted by a home run, along with one run scored, three RBI, and a walk. Despite a strikeout rate that might raise eyebrows, Wallner's ability to connect for power (eight homers in 45 games) and maintain a solid wOBA indicates a potential boon for fantasy rosters, especially in formats that reward power and on-base percentage. His performance in this game, particularly the three-RBI effort, underscores his knack for being productive in clutch situations, which could make him a valuable asset if he continues to get regular at-bats and leverages his power effectively.
