Allows four runs in no-decision Bassitt allowed four runs on four hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out six in the win against the Angels.

Impact Bassitt was tagged early in this one by the Angels, giving up all four of his runs in the second but then pitching great to get through six frames. Bassitt retired the last 10 hitters he faced, and he's now struck out five or more hitters in seven of his last eight starts. The 35-year-old ended June with a 3.24 ERA but has seen it climb to 4.41 over his last nine starts. His 6.80 ERA over those last nine starts makes him tough to trust down the stretch.

Allows three runs in loss Bassitt (9-12) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Bassitt surrendered a leadoff homer to Ian Happ in the first innings and then yielded two more runs in the fifth. He battled through two rain delays but failed to record a win or quality start for the fifth time in six chances since the All-Star break. On the year, the veteran owns a 4.34 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 134:54 K:BB across 139 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Angels next week.

Sunk by nightmare first inning Bassitt (9-11) took the loss against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

Impact The Athletics brought 11 batters to the plate in the first inning, scoring six runs and crushing two homers before Bassitt was finally able to escape. It's been a frustrating year for the veteran, as he was coming off a seven-inning gem against one of baseball's best lineups in Baltimore. Unfortunately, that outing was his only quality start in seven chances since July 4, a period in which his ERA has grown from 3.24 to 4.30. He'll try to rebound in a road matchup with the Cubs next week.

Strikes out nine in win 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.

Impact 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.
