That's the point, not comparing MiLB HRs to MLB HRs. Just because one is a power hitter in the minors doesn't always equate. While they're both OFs, they're completely different players. I'm neither a Roden or Wallner fan but I'd be hard pressed to say Wallner's AAA success will translate to MLB. He's simply hasn't shown it consistently. Wallner has 2 true outcomes - out or HR while Roden has always been a high contact , low power bat. It's like you're trying to compare Brian Dozier 2016-2017 to Nick Punto. Both infielders and completely different players. 

Yes, the original poster said “how did that not go out?” in response to Roden’s fly ball out in the 9th.  I said he hasn’t hit any homers for the Twins, so it wasn’t surprising, and that Wallner was a much more prolific home run hitter.
