One more good game Sunday and he’d be one of the rare players to finish with his highest OPS of the season on the final day of said season.

Could Walker finally be heating up? This two-hit effort came one day after a three-hit game.

His home run was a welcome sight too, barely clearing the tall left field fence and into the fabled Crawford Boxes at Daikin Park. He practically didn’t have a spring training since he was nursing an oblique injury, so it wouldn’t be crazy for it to have taken nearly a month to get him timing down.
