The game was tied 2-2 before Wallner lofted a towering homer to the right field bleachers off Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman. It was Wallner's fourth homer of the season in the big leagues, though he also slugged five homers in six games during a rehab stint at Triple-A St. Paul in May.

David Festa turned in an ugly outing during his return to the Minnesota Twins lineup, but he should be expected to stay. Pablo Lopez is out for at least two months, and Festa will be given every opportunity to substantiate his earlier success.

Tyler Soderstrom's explosive performance, including a grand slam and a two-run homer, led the Oakland Athletics to a commanding 14-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins, ending a painful nine-game losing streak.
