Dodgers let one slip away in Philadelphia

Maikel Franco hit the most-predicted grand slam ever, ruining an otherwise stellar Dodgers debut for Alex Wood, giving the Phillies a 6-2 victory in the opener of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Wood kept the Phillies off balance for most of the night with a mix of curveballs and changeups. He tied a season high with eight strikeouts and walked none through six innings in a 1-1 tie. But unfortunately for the left-hander, his night will mostly be remembered for the loss, and this seventh inning delivery.
