In contrast to last night's lengthy battle, this game was a crisp 2 hours, 10 minutes; compelling viewing despite the Jays' struggles at the plate.
Bowden Francis faced immediate adversity, allowing a double to Marcus Semien, but showed resilience by stranding him at third and finding some rhythm shortly after.
Francis had moments of promise, including clean innings in the 4th and 5th, but ultimately faltered in the 6th, leading to a pivotal home run.
The Jays struggled offensively against Cody Bradford, who, while not overwhelming, effectively utilized his pitches to keep the hitters off balance and generate weak contact.
