Bowden Francis News: Lasts four innings in no-decision

Francis took a no-decision in Thursday's 7-6 victory over the Padres, throwing four innings and allowing two runs on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts.

Francis was lifted from the ballgame after four solid innings of work Thursday, but he's now failed to last five frames in five of his past six starts. The right-hander's struggle to keep the ball in the yard continued as he has now allowed a home run in eight of his 10 starts this season, bringing his total up to a staggering 15 on the year.
