Phillies' Maikel Franco: Homers in Thursday's win
Franco went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's victory over Atlanta.
Analysis:
Thursday's first-inning blast ended a season-high 12-game homerless streak for Franco. He's struggled mightily since the break, hitting just .191 (9-for-47) with nine strikeouts. Despite the lull, the third baseman has racked up six longballs in July while posting his best slugging percentage of any month this season.
