Bowden Francis' promising start in Philadelphia turned chaotic as he faced significant struggles on the mound. After a strong first few innings, Francis fell apart, walking key batters and ultimately being pulled after failing to find the strike zone. Despite the Blue Jays rallying to tie the game, they lost 3-2 after Chad Green conceded a decisive home run to Max Kepler. This marked yet another poor outing for Francis, raising questions about his role in the team amidst the Jays' recent successes. With injuries complicating their rotation, his next scheduled start against the struggling Chicago White Sox may prove to be critical for his future.
