The third time should have been the charm for the Jays’ newest arm in Chris Bassitt.
As he did in Anaheim during his second start as a Blue Jay, Bassitt gave his team a chance to win. Through five innings, the right-hander gave up two earned runs on four hits, while striking out five and walking three. He also produced a season-high seven strikeouts.
“Velo is up, the sharpness was there,’’ said Bassitt following Thursday’s game, adding that his mechanics are more in sync to where they should be.“That will never be an issue,’’ he said. “We’re good there.” Manager John Schneider felt his starter pitched pretty much the same way as he did against the Angels in Anaheim, when Bo Bichette came up big late in the game to give him his first win.
The Jays’ lone run came in the third inning when Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s sharp single scored Cavan Biggio, tying the game 1-1.
