Chris Bassitt allowed three runs and struck out six batters over 5 2/3 innings in a loss against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Bassitt stranded the bases loaded in the first inning. He then settled in for four more scoreless innings, limiting Boston to two more baserunners before he ran into trouble in the sixth. Bassitt loaded the bases and gave up a two-run single with two outs. That would end his day at 91 pitches. One inherited runner would come in to score. The 37-year-old right-hander will take a 4.96 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and a 61/33 K/BB ratio across 85 1/3 innings into a start against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Friday.
