Chris Bassitt allowed five hits and one run with one walk and six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings to earn the win in a 6-1 victory over the Mets on Wednesday.

Bassitt spent most of this game in the proverbial rocking chair. The Mets finally pushed a runner into scoring position by the fourth inning and they only got there due to a balk from Bassitt. That set up the only run he’d allowed and afterwards, he retired seven batters in a row before being pulled as the Mets threatened in the seventh. Reliever Anthony Nunez would neutralize said threat and preserve an excellent final line for Bassitt. Reaching back for a little extra, Bassitt’s velocity was up by more than a tick across the board and his 14 swings-and-misses tied his season-high. Overall, it was a great series for Orioles players who were former Mets to get some revenge. Bassitt is scheduled to face the Blue Jays at home next week in what figures to be his final start of the season.
