Straight Ryan Franklin

Ryan Franklin blew his third save in four tries Saturday night as the Giants staged a two-run rally in the ninth to defeat the Cardinals 3-2. Batters are 6 for 17 with two walks, a double and a homer against Franklin for a .353/.450/.588 slash line. There’s a good chance that this is just bad luck, but a look at Franklin’s fastball indicates something might have changed. He’s throwing it just as hard, but there’s not as much movement.
