TORONTO (AP) — Chris Bassitt pitched a two-hitter, Daulton Varsho hit a solo home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Friday night.
Bassitt (5-2) struck out eight and walked two in the Blue Jays' first individual shutout since Mark Buehrle accomplished the feat against Washington in 2015. Bassitt threw 70 of his 103 pitches for strikes to win his fourth straight decision. The shutout was Toronto’s sixth this season.
Atlanta lost a series-opening road game for the first time this season after winning six straight to start the year.
