AUGUST 22 • DATA SKRIVE

Trevor Larnach - Tallies four knocks in rout Larnach went 4-for-6 with two doubles, a run and an RBI in an 11-4 victory against San Diego on Wednesday.

Impact Larnach was a big part of a Minnesota offensive explosion that included 18 hits. It was the outfielder's first game this season with more than two knocks, and the big performance increased his season batting average from .243 to .253. Wednesday marked the first four-hit effort of Larnach's career.

Matt Wallner - Belts three-run shot in big win Wallner went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 11-4 rout of the Padres.

Impact Wallner broke open the contest with a three-run blast to right field in the fourth inning to give Minnesota an 8-0 lead. The long ball ended a season-long 11-game homerless stretch for Wallner, and he had gone just 6-for-29 with 12 strikeouts during that stretch. He's nonetheless held onto a near-everyday role in the Twins' lineup, starting five of the team's past six games either at DH or in left field.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Edouard Julien - Racks up four hits in rout Julien went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's 11-4 victory against the Padres.

Impact Julien entered Wednesday having collected just two hits over 10 at-bats since returning from the minors Aug. 15. He doubled that hit total in the rout over the Padres, notching his first four-hit game since August of last year. He's gaining some traction in the Twins' lineup, starting four of the team's past six games with Brooks Lee on the injured list due to a shoulder injury.

Simeon Woods Richardson - Fans seven in victory Woods Richardson (5-3) earned the win over San Diego on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings.

Impact Woods Richardson kept the Padres off the scoreboard until Donovan Solano got to him for a solo homer in the fifth inning. The righty hurler didn't pitch beyond that frame since he racked up 101 pitches, but he cruised to an easy victory with Minnesota's offense supplying 10 runs of support while he was in the game. Woods Richardson has notched a win in consecutive starts for the first time as a major-leaguer, and he's given up just five runs across 17 frames across his past three outings. He's projected to face Atlanta at home in his next start.

Ryan Jeffers - Taking seat Wednesday Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Jeffers and Christian Vazquez continue to alternate catching duties for the Twins, as Vazquez will be behind the plate for Wednesday's series finale after he caught the series opener Monday. The last time either player caught back-to-back games came on Aug. 7 and 9 when Jeffers did it, and that latter game was the first of a doubleheader.
