Prospect Roundup May 31st Games: Franco and Smith

Wander Franco (Princeton 2018) and Kevin Smith (Bluefield 2017) had outstanding games on Friday.

Rays SS Wander Franco , Class A Midwest League: 2-for-4, HR, 2B, 2 RBIs, R -- Already riding a seven-game hitting streak, the top Tampa Bay prospect delivered a two-hit night. After a seven-pitch at-bat in the first inning, Franco cranked a two-run homer to right field, his fifth long ball of the season. In the fifth, he went to right again and legged out his 13th double. The 18-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in his first full professional season, boasting a .324/.391/.517 slash line.
Blue Jays SS Kevin Smith , Double-A New Hampshire: 3-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs, 2 R, SB -- Smith brought a .170 batting average into the final game of May but raised it 13 points, thanks to his big night at the dish. The Jays' sixth-ranked prospect began his night with a pair of singles and bopped a solo homer to left field in the eighth. It capped his third three-hit game of the season and put the Fisher Cats ahead to stay.
