Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis had an exceptional game yesterday against the Angels yesterday coming inches away from a no-hitter.
Francis gave up 1 hit in the 9th innings than ended up being a homerun and after the game manager John Schneider spoke on the impressive game. Schneider told reporters that you never know when a special night like this is coming and added that he did not speak to Francis during the game as he kept to himself between innings.
John Schneider called tonight «special»
«You never know when days like this are going to unfold.»
He turned to check on Bowden Francis between innings late in the game, but Bowden's eyes were closed, meditating. Schneider wanted to give him every opportunity to do it. #BlueJays
This proves just how locked in Francis was yesterday as he chased down that no hitter.
