Standout shortstop Wander Franco takes aim at his sixth multi-hit outing in seven games when the Tampa Bay Rays face the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday in the middle contest of a three-game set at St. Petersburg, Fla.
Franco was both lifesaver and hero in the opener on Friday when he smacked the first walk-off homer of his career in the bottom of the ninth to give the Rays a 9-8 victory."It was good. We never keep our head down," Franco said afterward through an interpreter. "We kept it up. We kept the faith."Franco is batting .431 over the past 13 games. He has six homers, 11 RBIs and 14 runs during the span.
"I'm just going out there and just playing my game," Franco said. "Just showing off my talent the best I can, and thank God I'm able to show that." "It's why you keep playing because it's a hard game to win," Guardians manager Terry Francona said. "We gave ourselves a chance." Guardians standout third baseman Jose Ramirez is still waiting on his appeal of a three-game suspension related to his on-field fight with Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox. Francona said he expects a verdict soon.
Williams struck out a season-best 12 and gave up one hit and one walk in seven innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. He received a no-decision.
