PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper chucked his bat toward the dugout in anger after a groundout in the eighth inning and the Phillies left the tying run stranded on base in the ninth, enough for the Toronto Blue Jays to hold on for a 5-3 victory Wednesday that ended Philadelphia's home winning streak at 11 games.
Jordan Romano gave up an RBI single to Bryson Stott in the ninth but retired Whit Merrifield on a foul pop with two runners on base for his fifth save. They were done in by Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt , who tossed three-hit ball and struck out six over 6 1/3 innings. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had three hits for the Blue Jays.
Bassitt kept the Phillies' offense in check and now has a 1.86 ERA in five career starts against Philadelphia. His only jam came in the third when he walked two batters to open the inning and Johan Rojas singled to load the bases. Schwarber hit a sacrifice fly in right-field foul territory as George Springer made a head-first diving catch.
After escaping the third-inning jam, Bassitt let the Blue Jays' offense chip away at Aaron Nola and reliever Matt Strahm in the sixth.
