Francoeur had gone 0-for-3 in the first game.
Sitting out Game 2 officially put an end to his Major League-best streak of starting 370 consecutive games. That span stood as the longest consecutive games played streak in the Majors.
The previous time Francoeur didn't play in a game was Oct. 1, 2005.
When asked while the Braves were in Pittsburgh more than a week ago, Francoeur said that he'd never ask Cox to keep him out of the lineup. This came despite the fact that he's admittedly battled a sore right foot throughout this season.
