Eric Hartline / USA TODAY Sports
Maikel Franco is a simple man. He sees men on base, he hits home runs.
The season is still less than a month old, but the Philadelphia Phillies third baseman crushed his second grand slam of the year Wednesday when he took Miami Marlins starter Wei-Yin Chen deep to center field in the third inning.
The home run quickly erased Miami's two-run lead, putting the Phillies up 4-2.
