Bowden Francis of the Toronto Blue Jays threw an impressive eight no-hit innings, but ultimately suffered a 6-2 loss to the New York Mets after his bullpen faltered. Despite his strong performance, a ninth-inning home run by Francisco Lindor ended Francis's no-hitter attempt.
The Mets took the lead in the later innings, aided by contributions from Pete Alonso and Starling Marte, while Francisco Alvarez sealed the game with a three-run homer. The Blue Jays, currently struggling in the standings, hope to rebound against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Additionally, Bo Bichette is set to resume his rehab assignment as he works back from injury, aiming for a return to the majors next week.
