France went 1-for-2 with with a walk and a run Tuesday in the Mariners' 4-0 win over the Astros.
He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch for the 20th time this season, trailing only the Athletics' Mark Canha (22) for the MLB lead. The high number of beanings has helped prop France's on-base average up to a robust .362, in spite of a substandard 6.6 percent walk rate. The 27-year-old will remain in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale with Houston, manning first base while batting fourth.
