Bowden Francis Enters Blue Jays-Phillies Series Finale on Historic Hot Streak

Franchise Record?

Bowden Francis was called up mid-season

Bowden Francis enters his final start of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies on a historic hot streak. Francis is 7-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last seven starts, allowing only 16 hits in 40 innings pitched. His hot streak is the longest by a Blue Jays starter since Roger Clemens in 1997. He has also struck out 64 batters in that span, giving him the highest strikeout rate in the majors over that period.

Francis has been a key part of the Blue Jays' success this season. He has helped lead the team to a 27-13 record since his call-up in June. The Blue Jays are currently in first place in the AL East, and Francis is a big reason why.

Could he pitch the Blue Jays to the World Series?

Stats are impressive

Francis's success is due to several factors. He has a great fastball that he can locate in the strike zone. He also has a changeup and a cutter that he can use to keep hitters off balance. Francis is also a very good athlete, and he is able to field his position well.

Francis is a big reason why the Blue Jays are one of the favorites to win the World Series this year. If he can continue to pitch like he has been, the Blue Jays will be a very tough team to beat.
