Chris Bassitt didn't factor into the decision in his last outing against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four over 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Bassitt gave up solo home runs to Carlos Santana and Bo Naylor in the second and fourth innings, respectively, and Bassitt was tagged for a third run in the sixth before being lifted for Chad Green.
Bassitt was able to generate 11 whiffs on 98 pitches (65 strikes) but fell two outs short of logging his third quality start of the season.
He's allowed 11 runs over his last three outings and is up to a 2.95 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 39.2 innings.
Jose Soriano gets the ball tonight for the Halos. Soriano came away with a no-decision in a loss to the Detroit Tigers, allowing six hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander went toe-to-toe with reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and actually came out on top, leaving the mound after 94 pitches (59 strikes) with the Halos ahead 1-0 before Kenley Jansen and the bullpen made a mess of things.
Soriano has three quality starts in his seven trips to the mound, but his shaky starts have outweighed the good ones so far, leaving him with a 3.83 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB through 40 innings.
