Blue Jays turning the page to Cleveland following disappointing series loss to ChiSox
In the wake of Saturday's scintillating start produced by Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt had a tough act to follow in the rubber match of a three-game series against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Article content For those unaware, the South Siders were the team that drafted the right-hander, the same team that would trade Bassitt following his rookie season. Article content Article content Bassitt pieced together a very good outing, six innings of three-hit pitching, a stretch that saw the veteran give up one run, while striking out seven. Article content Berrios went 7.2 innings on an afternoon when the Jays' bats were humming en route to a 7-1 win. Article content No such offensive support for Bassitt, who left with the teams tied 1-1 in what turned out to be by far the most competitive game of the series. Article content It also turned into a nightmare for Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman, whose two-out fielding error in the eighth inning proved costly in Toronto's 4-2 loss Article content Bassitt was perfect the first time through Chicago's order. Article content Adversity struck in the fourth when the bases would be loaded following two singles and a one-out walk. Article content The ChiSox scored first courtesy of a ground ball that was too softly hit for the Jays to turn into a double play. Article content Bassitt deserved way better on a day he'd earn a no-decision. Article content In the end, it's a series loss for the Jays, who now head off to Cleveland for an off day Monday before the series opener against the Guardians gets underway Tuesday. Article content 'Not great, not a great ending (Sunday),'' began manager John Schneider when sizing up the series against a team that came into Rogers Centre riding an eight-game losing streak. 'I thought we played our style of game (Saturday). Article content Article content 'Looking back, three bad innings to start the series (featuring Spencer Turnbull in his first start with the Blue Jays) puts you in a hole … It's on to Cleveland and that's it.' Article content On Wednesday, the game will feature the return of veteran Max Scherzer, Bassitt's teammate with the New York Mets. Article content It will be Scherzer's second start with the Jays after he left following three innings when he made his debut back in late March. Article content 'He's ready to go,'' said Schneider, who's been dealing with a four-man rotation since Scherzer's hand setback, a staff weakened by an under-performing Bowden Francis before the right-hander was placed on the IL because of shoulder impingement.
