Maikel Franco hits a mammoth shot
by Matthew Jay Hutcheson Jr | Tue, Aug 11th 2:59pm EDT
The Phillies were victimized for 13 runs in Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. The offense did collect nine hits, but it was all for not as Arizona scored 9 runs in the 5th and 6th inning.
Fantasy Impact:
The one highlight for the Phillies was a 455 foot mammoth homer from Maikel Franco. It was the longest homer for the Phillies since a Jim Thome shot in 2012. Franco has struggled as of late. His average is down near .270, which isn't bad, just not the .300 he was hitting earlier in the year. Peaks and valleys are to be expected, but his upside is extremely high and should be rostered in all league formats.
