Despite not being slotted into the starting lineup Saturday, Mariners infielder Nick Franklin went 0 for 2 with an RBI and played two innings at second base after pinch hitting for Brendan Ryan in the bottom of the seventh inning in his team's 5-1 loss to the Angels.
It was Franklin's first action since suffering a left knee laceration Tuesday. He has hit .239/.308/.424 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in 264 at-bats.
