2023 Game Thirty-Eight: Toronto 3, Atlanta 0

 

it's all fun and games until somebody feels too cold

I was pretty sure it had been a while since a Blue Jays starting pitcher had thrown a complete game, but I would not have guessed that it hadn't been since Marcus Stroman in 2017, nor yet that the last complete game shutout was Mark Buerhle's in 2015. Just two hits! And two walks! Chris Bassitt did such a great job! And he pretty much had to, as the well-thighed, mustachioed Spencer Strider was really good, too, with just the two runs (only one earned). Daulton Varsho's late solo home run probably helped John Schneider makes his decision to send Bassitt back out there, but even so, it's not what I expected him to do. Happy to have been mistaken!
