Franklin went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Cubs.

He started in left field, but Franklin ended up being double-switched out of the game. Still, this was a good first impression for him in a Brewers jersey, as Franklin's 2017 had otherwise gotten off to an ignominious start -- he was waived by Tampa prior to Opening Day and claimed by Milwaukee on Wednesday, so this was his first appearance of the season. He seems set to serve as a utility man for the Brewers, which could help Franklin carve out some value in NL-only leagues.
