Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis had a lot of question marks surrounding him this season after a shaky start but due to his incredible lay lately, his path seems to be getting clearer.
Francis just pitched a 7 inning shutout yesterday against the Cubs and has been pitching very well since being brought back up from Triple-A. According to reports, it looks like the Blue Jays see him as part of their starting rotation for next season.
This is the Bowden Francis the #BlueJays dreamed of six months ago in Dunedin.
