Fine Effort by Franco Not Enough in 14-4 Twins Loss
Minnesota got a terrific performance from third baseman Maikel Franco, but it wasn't enough to beat the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles won the Angel Stadium of Anaheim contest, 14-4. Franco was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 3-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Matt Boyd got credit for the win, improving to 2-5. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in 6 innings. Minnesota has now lost 4 in a row.

In the bottom of the second, Kevin Kiermaier hit a 2-run double for Los Angeles. The 12th double of the season for the Los Angeles center fielder put the Angels on top, 4-2.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Kiermaier told the Los Angeles News.
