He also stole his fifth base of the season.Rays manager Kevin Cash praised Franco for being a very skilled player.“Wander is just a very talented player,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “The catch, the amount of ground that he covered, and then I can't tell if he caught it barehanded by design or his glove just couldn't go any farther that way, and the hand was there to help. But we'll take it. He was excited.”The Rays manager and Franco himself admitted that the catch might just have been a hit by chance. The reality might have been that he couldn't reach out for the ball with the gloved hand in time.
