2023 Game Eighteen: Blue Jays 4, Astros 2

 

show them where you hit it, Vladdy

After looking harried and ill at ease in his first few starts, Chris Bassitt turned in a confident and composed six-and-a-third last night, holding the Astros (who are probably still good!) scoreless on just three hits and a walk (he struck out five). The only two runs Blue Jays pitchers allowed were statistically charged to Yimi, but those were Tim Mayza's guys to get afterwards, is how I feel about it; Yimi did his part. So too Chapman and Vladdy, each of home homered, and Jordan Romano, who looked like a psycho as per usual for his slightly unusual four-out save. Great job, everybody! Loved the Brandon Belt/Whit Merrifield hit and run in the fifth! And it was Belt who was running! You might not have figured that part! Wouldn't it be swell to take the series tomorrow night with José Berríos on the hill? I think so too! Let's go!
