The Blue Jays are set to take on the winless Astros in a three game series in Houston. Bowden Francis will make his first big league start for the Jays.
After earning the split at the Trop, the Blue Jays head to Houston to take on the somehow 0-4 Astros for a three game series . Since the Jays are venturing into the central time zone, tonight’s game has a later start than normal at 8:10 ET. Bowden Francis will be making his first big league start tonight, something that he has very much earned. His big league career thus far has consisted of 37 relief innings with a 1.
70 ERA, putting up strong strikeout numbers while doing a great job limiting walks. His spring training was also good, giving up a 3.38 ERA over 18.2 innings, once again loading up the strike zone with quality pitches. He’s in for a tough first start against a hungry Astros team, but I’m excited to see how he does. The Astros will go with long-time Minor Leaguer Ronel Blanc
