For those who have been wondering why the Indians would bring Ben Francisco up to the big leagues and then not play him – maybe you were on to something.
Francisco got his first start, his first major league hit, and his first major league home run – a walk-off shot to left field that propelled the Indians to a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay.
In addition to showing some pop at the plate, Francisco showed some pretty good moves after the game, as he successfully dodged the first “leadership pie” from Designated Morale Officer Trot Nixon, only to get hit by the second a few minutes later.
