For the second time in three weeks, Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis fell painfully short of a no-hitter.
Francis threw eight no-hit innings against the New York Mets on Wednesday and returned to the mound in the ninth having thrown 108 pitches with a shot at history. Then Francisco Lindor spoiled it.
With Toronto holding a 1-0 lead, Lindor launched an 0-2 fastball into the right-field stands at Rogers Centre to lead off the inning and tie the game.
The solo shot ended Francis' no-hit bid.
