France went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run in a win over the Twins on Friday.
France was a thorn in the side of Minnesota pitching from his No. 2 spot in the order, helping make up for Adam Frazier's empty box score out of the leadoff spot. The 27-year-old is primed for a breakout season after already producing an impressive .291 average and .813 OPS across 152 games in 2021.
