Gif me some Maikel Franco

In his first-ever game at Yankee Stadium, Maikel Franco put on a show.

He had hits in his first four at-bats, including two home runs, and drove in five to become the first Phillies rookie with that many RBIs in a game since Ryan Howard did it on Aug. 10, 2005 vs. the Dodgers. He finished 4 for 5 as the Phils had a season-high 18 hits in an 11-8 victory to break their 12-game road losing streak.

Franco also made a terrific play at third base, diving to his right to snag a ball down the line and unleashing a strike to first base to rob Chris Young of extra bases.
