Mariners infielder Nick Franklin appeared to have no issues with his bruised knee Sunday against the Reds. Franklin homered in the first inning off starter Bronson Arroyo for a solo blast, his sixth of the year.
Franklin went 1 for 4 in the game with two strikeouts and is batting .287 on the season for Seattle. He's homered in two of his last three games and has three RBI over that span.
