Records fourth homer Soler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact Soler launched a home run to lead off the seventh inning-- his fourth of the season.

Despite those struggles, Soler continues to hit in the middle of the Royals' order, which has allowed him to rack up 24 RBI across 42 games.
