Surrenders five homers in loss

April 30, 2025
Francis (2-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing seven runs on eight hits while striking out one over three innings. He did not issue a walk.
ANALYSIS
All seven runs allowed by Francis came via the home run ball. He gave up five home runs, four of them solo shots to go along with a Wilyer Abreu three-run blast before Francis got through the third inning. Francis has now allowed 11 home runs this season, which is the most in baseball, and he has just three strikeouts over his last two starts. He'll look to rebound in a home start against the Guardians this weekend.
