Phillies

In a scene you probably won’t see on the field at Citizens Bank Park next season, Charlie Manuel and Maikel Franco had a fun little moment during BP.

— Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) September 9, 2019

Franco is well-liked in the Phillies’ clubhouse. He’s been through a lot here but has never had a negative or surly attitude.

He again did big damage against the Mets over the weekend, going 4 for 9 with a double and a homer. He’s homered seven times against the Mets this season and hit .345.
