It's been almost two months since Toronto starter Bowden Francis picked up a victory, but Blue Jays manager John Schneider says he still has trust in the 6-foot-5, 220-pound right-hander heading into Saturday afternoon's road start against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Francis (2-8, 6.12 ERA) has dropped six straight decisions since a 3-1 home win over the Seattle Mariners on April 18 and has allowed 19 home runs (second in the American League) in 60 1/3 innings. But Schneider points to an 8-5 record and 3.30 ERA in 2024 for sticking with Francis in the rotation.
Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez (5-2, 3.10), who is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three career starts against the Blue Jays, gets the start for Philadelphia, which has won three of its last four games.
Sanchez has allowed three runs or fewer in 11 straight starts, including the June 3 win against Francis when he gave up one run -- a homer to Davis Schneider -- on four hits and four walks over six innings while striking out four.

The right-hander will face a familiar foe when he starts the middle game of a three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday afternoon.
Flaherty has made four consecutive quality starts and earned three straight victories heading into his 14th outing of the season. After his second May start, Flaherty was 1-5 with a 4.61 ERA. He is now 5-6 with a 3.41 ERA.
He will be opposed by a right-hander who knows plenty about the Tigers, former Kansas City Royals starter Brady Singer (6-4, 4.59 ERA). In 13 career starts against the Tigers, Singer has a 6-1 record and 3.30 ERA. He is 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in seven starts at Detroit.

The Boston Red Sox will try to extend their winning streak to four games when they face the visiting New York Yankees on Saturday.
Boston also has won three straight against New York, including a 2-1 victory in 10 innings Friday night. The victory improved Boston's record in one-run games to 8-17 and to 5-8 in extra innings.
The loss on Friday night ended New York's three-game winning streak.
Boston is expected to send right-hander Hunter Dobbins (3-1, 4.20 ERA) to the mound Saturday, and he'll be trying to beat the Yankees for the second time in less than a week. Dobbins was credited with the win when the Red Sox beat the Yankees 11-7 last Sunday. He surrendered three runs on two home runs in five innings. That's his only career appearance against New York.
Left-hander Carlos Rodon (8-4, 2.87) is New York's probable pitcher. Rodon has a 4-5 record with a 4.29 ERA in 10 career starts against Boston. He gave up five runs on three hits and three walks in five innings and was the losing pitcher in the setback on Sunday.
