Franklin went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's 12-3 thrashing of the Yankees.
He's been struggling to build any momentum at the plate this month -- Franklin has three multi-hit performances but five ohfers in 10 games in August -- so hopefully Sunday afternoon's fireworks will allow him to catch fire. With Oswaldo Arcia (elbow) and Logan Morrison (forearm) set to come off the DL soon, Franklin needs to string together some good games to secure his spot in the lineup.
