Basso came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

The rookie southpaw blanked Chicago through four innings before faltering in the fifth, getting the hook after 93 pitches (60 strikes). It's the first time in three big-league starts that Basso has failed to complete five frames, and only the second time in six appearances he's been charged with any earned runs at all. He'll take a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 19.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rangers.
