Franklin went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored in the Rays' 7-6 win over the Orioles on Wednesday.
The homer was Franklin's sixth of the year, and brought his RBI total to 26. Franklin is actually hitting a solid .290 in 2016, spending most of the year as a backup to Logan Forsythe and Brad Miller. But the power-hitting Miller was moved to first base around a month ago, opening up more playing time for Franklin, who looks like he's going to start most games for the Rays moving forward.
