Chris Bassitt News: Delivers length in seventh win

Bassitt (7-3) earned the win Tuesday against St. Louis after giving up four runs on six hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

While Bassitt tallied his second-fewest punchouts of the season, he fired seven innings in his second straight start. The veteran right-hander has now allowed at least four runs in three of his last four outings, and as a result his ERA has jumped from 2.83 on May 20 to 3.70 to go along with a 1.31 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB over 80.1 innings for the campaign. Bassitt is in line for a tough matchup in his next scheduled appearance versus the Diamondbacks.
