I love it 馃檹馃従馃檹馃従馃檹馃従SB Nation's Alex Kirshner provided a few more details:Alex Kirshner @alex_kirshnerThe agent for Last Chance U鈥檚 John Franklin III says Franklin signed a rookie contract with the Bears as a DB/KR. Franklin worked out there this weekend. His camp had thought it had a deal with the Seahawks immediately following the draft, which I reported. He鈥檚 a Bear now.College football fans became familiar with Franklin when聽Last Chance U聽followed East Mississippi Community College for the 2015 season.He was the No. 23 junior college recruit in the 2016 class, per 247Sports'聽composite rankings, and signed with the Auburn Tigers. As a backup quarterback for Auburn, he ran for 430 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 204 yards and a score.Franklin transferred to Florida Atlantic for his final season and moved to wide receiver. He caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown and ran for 229 yards and two touchdowns.The fact that Franklin is shifting to a third position in as many seasons won't make his adjustment to the NFL any easier, but the Bears at least provided him with an opportunity to earn a roster spot at the next level. Washington Nationals reliever Ryan Madson had spent the past couple of weeks thinking about how long hed gone between giving up home runs.
He wont have to wonder about it any more after the Toronto Blue Jays burned him with back-to-back blasts.
Teoscar Hernandez and Yangervis Solarte broke a tie with consecutive home runs in the eighth inning Andy Dalton Jersey , Randal Grichuk added a pair of solo shots and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Washington Nationals 8-6 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
Hernandez and Solarte connected off Madson (1-3) as the Blue Jays won their seventh consecutive home game. Hernandez hit his 12th home run while Solartes was his team-leading 15th.
Everybody knows Madson is one of the best relievers in the league, Hernandez said. We made some adjustments, took good swings, and hit it hard.
Madson last gave up a home run on June 4, 2017, while pitching for Oakland against Washington, when Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run shot.
Ive been thinking about it a little bit because it seemed like it had been a while Cheap Derwin James Jersey , Madson said of his year-plus streak. Its kind of been on my mind for the last couple of weeks.
Madson, who allowed two home runs in all of 2017, blamed poor fastball command for his rough outing.
I envisioned the inning going a lot different than that, obviously, he said. The stuff was good but no command of it.
Hernandez went 3 for 4 and was hit by a pitch, reaching bases four times.
Grichuk went 3 for 3 with a bases-loaded walk. He homered off Tanner Roark in the second and went deep again off Shawn Kelley in the fifth. The homers were the sixth and seven of the season for Grichuk, five of which have come in June.
Kevin Pillar and Kendrys Morales each had two hits and an RBI for the Blue Jays Dante Pettis Jersey , who are 6-2 in interleague play this season.
Every game we win means a lot, Hernandez said. Were just trying to get closer to the fight for first and second (wild card) spots.
Washington has lost five of six.
You never want to get swept but Im glad we swung the bats today, manager Dave Martinez said. We havent been swinging very well. Ill take our chances very time we score six runs.
Grichuk snapped a 5-5 tie with an RBI single off Justin Miller in the seventh but the Nationals answered in the eighth with Brian Goodwins RBI single off Torontos Tyler Clippard.
Ryan Tepera (4-2) pitched the final 1 1-3 innings for the win.
Slumping Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper started as the designated hitter and went 0 for 5 with two strikeouts, dropping his average to .217.
Harper, who has seven hits in his past 51 at bats, flied out to leave the bases loaded against Tepera in the eighth.
Neither starter lasted more than four innings. Blue Jays right-hander Sam Gaviglio allowed three runs and six hits while Roark allowed four runs and eight hits.
I stunk today, Roark said.
THIEVERY
Toronto allowed a season-worst five stolen bases Shaquem Griffin Youth Jersey , four of them by Michael A. Taylor. The five steals matched Washingtons season-high.
CATCH WITH DAD
On Fathers Day, the sons and daughters of several Blue Jays tossed ceremonial first pitches to their dads, a group that included Solarte, Pillar, Morales, Aledmys Diaz and pitchers J.A Happ and John Axford.
FATHERHOOD
Gaviglio left before the game was over to fly home to Washington state after learning his wife had gone into labor with the couples first child.
TRAINERS ROOM
Nationals: 1B Matt Adams (left hand) was out of the lineup for a second straight day. Adams was hit by a pitch while attempting to bunt Friday. Daniel Muprhy made his second straight start at first.
