Texas Rangers Struggling Despite Impressive Pitching as Bowden Francis Looks to Capitalize

Currently, the Texas Rangers are experiencing a challenging period with only one victory in their last eight games. Despite the impressive pitching skills of Nate Eovaldi, the team has suffered two consecutive losses with him on the mound. Following Eovaldi, the Rangers' bullpen has struggled, maintaining a 4.08 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, significantly higher than Toronto's relievers' 3.69 ERA. In the upcoming matchup, Bowden Francis does not have to perform exceptionally well against a struggling Texas lineup that has only scored 12 runs in their previous five games. This presents an opportunity for Francis to capitalize on the offensive struggles of the Rangers and secure a positive outcome for the team.
