Chris Bassitt allowed six hits and two runs with three walks and five strikeouts across five-plus innings to earn the win in a 7-4 victory on Friday.

The definition of “scattering” his hits, Bassitt allowed exactly one knock in four of the first five innings he pitched. Still in a groove and only at 89 pitches, the Orioles tried to push him through the sixth, but he allowed two hits to start that frame before being pulled. One of those inherited runners came around to score which sullied his line a tad despite this being a solid start. In classic Bassitt fashion, he gave the Blue Jays’ hitters a different look every time around the order. First, being very sinker heavy, then turning to his curveball the second time through, and then closing his outing with a heavy dose of cutters. He’s scheduled to face the Mets on the road next time out.
