Wallner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cardinals.
Wallner entered Saturday 2-for-21 across his last nine games, though both of those knocks were extra-base hits. Considering he hit safely in eight straight games from Aug. 4-13, it's a little disappointing he couldn't sustain that momentum. The 26-year-old is up to nine homers, 25 RBI, 19 runs scored, three stolen bases, 12 doubles and a .266/.395/.597 slash line across 152 plate appearances this season. He continues to play regularly versus right-handed pitchers, splitting time between left field and designated hitter.
