Breaking out of slump Walsh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
Impact Walsh entered the All-Star break mired in a massive slump during which he batted .125 (8-for-64) with no extra-base hits and only one RBI over 18 contests. The time off appears to have reawakened his bat, as he's gone 4-for-8 with three doubles in his first two games of the second half. Walsh has also struck out four times during that span, however, and has an ugly 30.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign.

Falls single shy of cycle Walsh went 3-for-6 with a home run, a triple, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-11 extra-innings loss to the Royals.
Impact Walsh had the three extra-base hits by the seventh inning, including a fourth-inning solo shot. He had two chances to complete the cycle, but he flied out in the ninth inning and fouled out to end the game with the tying run aboard in the 11th. While he missed out on a rare accomplishment, it was still a productive game for the first baseman. Walsh has four multi-hit games in his last 11, and he's up to a .261/.308/.482 slash line with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 31 runs scored, 12 doubles, two triples and a stolen base in 67 contests overall.

Impact Walsh was quiet in the matinee, striking out twice in three at-bats.

The first baseman remained in the contest and notched another hit -- this time a single -- in the ninth. Walsh is slashing .255/.306/.464 with 12 homers, 38 RBI and a stolen base on the season.
