Keaschall extended Minnesota's lead in the seventh inning by launching a 411-foot solo homer, his ninth long ball of the season. Five of those homers have come in August, during which Keaschall has hit .326 across 25 games. The strong month has helped him maintain a .274/.364/.390 slash line through 128 games this season.

Keaschall is up to eight homers this season, four of which have come over 18 games in August. He's batting .348 (23-for-66) this month to supplement his improved power hitting. The 24-year-old is batting .274 on the year, adding a .749 OPS, 38 RBI, 60 runs scored, 19 doubles, one triple and 14 stolen bases over 121 contests. Keaschall may be able to use his speed more if he sticks in the leadoff spot he's hit out of in the last five games.
