PHILADELPHIA -- Maikel Franco hopes to take the good from Saturday night and carry it into the rest of the season's final month.
He went 4-for-5 with three doubles and one RBI in a 6-4 loss in 10 innings to the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. He doubled in the first, singled and scored in the third, doubled to score a run in the fifth and doubled in the eighth. But Franco also dropped a ball in foul territory in the eighth that eventually led to the Braves scoring the game-tying run.
"I've been up and down too much," Franco said about his sophomore season.
