Walks four in no-decision Bassitt allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Impact Bassitt hadn't walked multiple batters in any of his first four outings in July, though his six strikeouts were his most in a start this month. The right-hander left the game in line for the win, but the Blue Jays' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. Bassitt hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last six appearances, and he's at a 3.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 118:41 K:BB through 126.2 innings this season. He's projected for a tough home start versus the Orioles next week.

Hurls six shutout innings Bassitt (10-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing four hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Padres. He struck out five.
Impact Bassitt retired 10 of the first 12 batters he faced and never really found himself in trouble outside of the sixth inning when he walked Juan Soto to open the frame before giving up a single to Xander Bogaerts. However, the lefty was quickly able to pitch his way out of the jam en route to earning his 10th win of the season. Bassitt has now won his last three decisions (spanning five starts), allowing two earned runs or fewer in each of those wins.

Earns win in bumped up start Bassitt (9-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.
Impact Bassitt was able to pitch his way out of jams for most of the afternoon while filling in for Kevin Gausman (left side discomfort) on short notice, with the exception of the fourth inning where he allowed four consecutive hits with two outs, which led to two runs coming across for Arizona. Those would be the only two runs he'd allow in the contest as the right-hander went on to secure his ninth win of the season. The 6-foot-5 veteran has won his last two decisions (spanning four starts) despite allowing at least six hits in each of his last three starts and currently holds a 14:1 K:BB in July. Bassitt has also gone at least six innings in three of his last four outings.

Making unexpected start Bassitt will start Saturday against Arizona after Kevin Gausman was scratched with left side discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Bassitt had followed Gausman in the rotation prior to the break and had been set to start Sunday, but he'll be needed one day ahead of schedule due to Gausman's day-to-day injury. While Bassitt will be starting one day earlier than planned, he'll be pitching on extra rest due to the All-Star break, having last pitched Sunday against Detroit.

Only lasts four innings Bassitt allowed three runs on nine hits and did not walk a batter while striking out four across four innings against the Tigers on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Sunday's outing could have gotten a lot worse for Bassitt. He allowed a three base hits in the second inning and a solo home run in the third, leading to two runs for the Tigers. He then gave up another run on three straight singles to open up the fifth before being replaced by Trevor Richards, who was able to strand two runners after coming in with nobody out. It was a disappointing way for the 34-year-old to head into the All-Star break after posting consecutive quality starts. He's struggled to keep the ball in the park and has now given up 18 home runs in 109.2 innings this season after allowing 19 in 181.2 innings last year. Bassitt had not held an ERA above four in any season during which he's made at double digit starts but currently owns a 4.19 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 102:36 K:BB.

Logs quality start Bassitt allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Tuesday.
Impact Bassitt unraveled in the sixth inning, allowing a three-run home run to Luis Robert that temporarily cost Toronto the lead. It was a second straight quality start for Bassitt, who had an uneven June with a 4.59 ERA over six starts (33.1 innings). The right-hander is at a 4.09 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB through 105.2 innings over 18 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for one more start in the first half, which would come over the weekend in Detroit.

Records career-high 12 punchouts Bassitt (8-5) earned the win over San Francisco on Thursday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 12 batters.
Impact Bassitt racked up 18 swinging strikes en route to his career-high mark in punchouts, and it was the first time this season he's fanned more than eight batters in a game. The right-hander isn't known for his strikeout ability -- he's averaged a punchout per inning in only one season in his career and came into Thursday with just six combined Ks over his prior two starts -- but he had his way against a Giants offense that has fanned more than any team in the National League. Beyond missing bats, Bassitt notched a much-needed positive outing, as he came into the contest having posted an 11.57 ERA and 2.49 WHIP over his previous three starts.
