Chris Bassitt Rebounds With Gem

New York Mets starting pitcher Chris Bassitt delivered his strongest performance of the year Tuesday, throwing eight innings of shutout ball. He gave up just three hits and a walk while striking out seven batters to earn his fifth win of the season. It’s a welcome outcome for Bassitt, who had allowed at least four runs in four of his last five outings. Bassitt’s season ERA and WHIP are a solid 4.01 and 1.18 with 81 strikeouts across 76 1/3 innings in 13 starts. He should continue to rack up wins for one of the best teams in the league.
