Bassitt (0-1) gave up nine hits, six earned runs, two walks, and five strikeouts over five innings in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
The 27-year-old righty was blown up by the potent Toronto lineup, surrendering homers to Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki. Bassitt couldn't keep the ball down at Rogers Centre, a near-certain recipe for disaster, giving up 11 flyballs during his time on the mound. His control problems were somewhat muted, but he has surrendered at least two walks in each of his four starts this season. Despite the setback -- considering that Bassitt had turned in quality starts over his previous two trips to the mound -- he still sports a respectable 4.44 ERA over 24.1 innings this season.
