STRUGGLING HITTERS

Maikel Franco struggled after a strong week the prior week. Franco batted just .190 with seven strikeouts in six games played. Franco was hit in the wrist with a pitch on Friday, but thankfully not seriously injured.

Cody Asche continues to struggle mightily, going hitless in 20 at bats with nine strikeouts.

Peter Bourjos has also gone ice-cold at the plate. Bourjos hit just .138 with nine strikeouts. The timing couldn’t be worse for a player who the Phils would love to be able to move at the deadline.
