Mike Wilner: Chris Bassitt delivers (as usual) in Jays’ series-opening win over White Sox
had been held to one infield single by Chicago starter Lance Lynn when Matt Chapman got into a 2-and-2 fastball with one out in the fourth inning and belted it to deep centre field. Luis Robert Jr. leaped and pulled the 107.8-m.p.h. blast back from over the wall, taking a home run away.
The loud out got the Jays offence going as Alejandro Kirk followed with a walk, Brandon Belt singled and Whit Merrifield doubled into the left-field corner to get the home team on the board. Cavan Biggio followed with a three-run home run onto the new short porch in right field to give the Jays a lead they would never relinquish.For the fourth straight start, Chris Bassitt went at least six innings and gave up no more than four hits.
This time, the right-hander allowed two runs on three hits over 6 1/3 frames before leaving with tightness in his lower back. The 34-year-old did what he does best, keeping opposing hitters off balance with a mix of pitches and limiting hard contact. He allowed only four hard-hit balls out of 19 balls in play against him. One of them was the two-out, two-run double by Andrew Vaughn in the third that accounted for all the Chicago runs.Merrifield’s RBI double in the four-run fourth extended his hit streak to 10 games, over which he’s batting .389.
Belt’s fourth-inning single was part of a two-hit day for the 35-year-old, who started the season in an ugly 1-for-23 slump but has hit .333 since then, raising his batting average 157 points.
