Rays' Taylor Walls: Launches pair of homers in win
Walls went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-4 win over the Athletics.
Walls delivered a rare display of power by homering from both sides of the plate Tuesday. He ended a 105-game regular-season homer drought dating back to July 27 of last year by going deep left-handed off Mason Barnett in the fourth inning before launching another homer as a right-handed hitter off Brady Basso in the sixth. The two long balls were his first of the season and were particularly surprising considering Walls has just 24 homers across 581 career games. He entered Tuesday batting just .135 over his previous 14 contests. Walls owns a .216 average with a .605 OPS and 18 stolen bases across 97 games this season.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Rockies.
Walls has swiped a bag in each of his last two games, going 3-for-8 in that span. Prior to that, he had endured an 0-for-14 skid over a seven-game stretch, which led to a day off Sunday to help him reset. The shortstop is now batting .216 with a .590 OPS, no home runs, 23 RBI, 42 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 17 stolen bases over 91 contests this season. Walls remains a regular part of the Rays' lineup but hasn't produced at a fantasy-friendly level this year.
