CHICAGO — In clearing Wander Franco to return to the lineup after he sat out Monday with right quad tightness, the Rays asked him to not run too hard.
Franco came up with a good compromise, jogging around the bases after hitting a two-run homer that sparked his team to a 6-5 win over the Cubs on Tuesday night.
The win was welcome for the Rays, who got back to .500 at 6-6 after losing five of their previous six, and well-earned.
