Chris Bassitt surrendered three runs in 5 2/3 innings and struck out nine Thursday against the Yankees.
Bassitt labored early in this one, and he risked pitch clock violations several times, making us wonder if something was wrong physically. Bassitt, though, powered through and got better as the evening went along, which was huge for the Jays with the bullpen having worked a whole lot lately. He ended up earning his eighth win, while throwing a season-high 113 pitches. Bassitt will face the White Sox next week.
