The Minnesota Twins will try to do a better job of cashing in their opportunities when they face the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.
The Twins worked nine walks in the series opener on Friday night and forced Toronto pitchers into three-ball counts in 10 other at-bats, but could manage only one run in the 3-1 loss, their fourth in the past five games."It was kind of an odd game because we didn't swing the bats that well, but we had some good at-bats," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "We got late in some counts, laid off some pitches in the latter half of these at-bats and had some guys on base.
Bassitt is 0-1 in his past two starts, despite allowing just two earned runs in a combined 13 1/3 innings. Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. committed his first two errors of the season in the second and third innings, which led to the four unearned runs."I think they were hunting my heater a lot , and I didn't have my off-speed at all," Bassitt said. "There are adjustments to be made."
He most recently gave up two runs and five hits in six-plus innings against the visiting Los Angeles Angels last Sunday, but took the loss in a 4-2 defeat.
