Ty France

France singled for all three of his hits, and he improved his average to .269 while ticking up his slugging to .370. He's helped the Twins more than anticipated after his struggles over the last two years, but he's still not good enough to be in a fantasy lineup right now.

The 26-year-old hurler suffered his first blown save and surrendered his first earned runs of the season during Friday night's loss to the Twins. After striking out Willi Castro to start the inning, Munoz issued a walk to Kody Clemens to put the tying run on base. He then allowed a single to Ty France and uncorked a wild pitch that allowed both runners to move into scoring position. Harrison Bader followed with a sacrifice fly that tied the game before Munoz punched out Brooks Lee to end the inning. Munoz then picked up a victory as the Mariners rallied in the home half of the ninth inning. Despite the two shaky outings, he's still obviously entrenched as the M's closer and still owns a terrific 1.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and a 33/9 K/BB ratio over 25 2/3 innings on the season.
