Juan Francisco was able to play the role of hero on Friday, delivering a pinch-hit walkoff single, giving the Braves a 4-3 victory over the Dodgers in 11 innings. After the first two hitters were retired in the Braves half of the 11th, they strung together a pair of singles to put runners on first and third. Francisco was called upon to hit for Jonny Venters and lined a sharp single to left field off Brandon League to give the Braves the victory. He has seen a sharp decrease in his playing time recently with Chipper Jones proving to be healthy, but remains a very capable backup option.
