Blue Jays' Bowden Francis: Earns first career call-up

Francis was called up by the Blue Jays on Monday.

Francis has yet to make his major-league debut. He's made three starts so far this season for Triple-A Buffalo, striking out 27.0 percent of opposing batters while posting a mediocre 4.11 ERA. He'll likely serve in a multi-inning relief role for now.
