Every pitch is a process for Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt. He'll often bend down or talk to himself before locking in and unloading from an arsenal that offers both variety and quality.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt throws the ball during first inning MLB baseball action against the New York Yankees in Toronto on Monday, April 15, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christopher KatsarovEvery pitch is a process for Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt. He'll often bend down or talk to himself before locking in and unloading from an arsenal that offers both variety and quality.

Alejandro Kirk had two hits as Toronto extended its win streak to three games. The Blue Jays have won five of seven and are over the .500 mark for the first time since winning on Opening Day."It is a very tough lineup but we had a game plan and stuck to it," Bassitt said. The Blue Jays put runners on the corners in the first inning after a pair of walks and a fielder's choice. Yankees starter Luis Gil escaped by striking out Justin Turner and picking off Bo Bichette at first base.

The free pass to Isiah Kiner-Falefa brought home Biggio and a wild pitch to George Springer allowed Kirk to scamper home to make it 2-1.
