Phillies news & links — Maikel Franco’s acrobatic bat

Fridays are a good day to look back at the week and evaluate how things have gone. And on the whole: not bad! On Monday and Tuesday they stretched their winning-streak to four games, scored some runs, and Odubel Herrera hit more than a few doubles. They lost Wednesday and Thursday, but they’re in a good position headed into the weekend series with the Cardinals. A good position in that they’re not in the midst of a massive losing streak. Confidence is everything, you know.

The most interesting thing to happen in last night’s game was Maikel Franco’s bat getting stuck in the protective netting at SunTrust Park.
