Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis came 1 inning away from history yesterday as he almost had a no-hitter in an incredible outing.
Despite the Angels being the home team that went hitless until the 9th innings, after the game was done, the crowd gave Francis and incredibly loud ovation to congratulate him on an exceptional performance.
Bowden Francis just lost his no-hitter in the 9th inning on a home run to Taylor Ward.
He's leaving to a standing ovation from the crowd. The loudest I've heard here in years for a starter.
An incredible performance. #BlueJays
This is a great move by Angels fans and proved just how incredible baseball fans are that even if Francis is not their pitcher, they saw greatness and acknowledged it.
