Bassitt (9-10) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Bassitt faced the minimum through five innings and recorded a season-high nine strikeouts while completing seven innings for the first time since June 24. The 35-year-old had a miserable July, failing to record a quality start and posting a 7.01 ERA in five outings, but he opened August with a fantastic performance against one of the league's best lineups. On the year, he owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 124:50 K:BB across 130 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics this weekend.
