Franco Slaps 5 Hits
It was a sensational day at the plate for Julio Franco as he led the charge to a 15-6 win over the Braves. The Houston shortstop was pure misery for the Atlanta pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 6 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.

"Franco put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said Cary Rosen, manager for the Braves, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."

Julio Franco singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.

During the current season Franco is batting at a .287 clip with 4 home runs and 21 RBIs. He has played in 66 games and scored 41 times.
