8/3 3:15 PM Chris Bassitt (P-TOR) Blue Jays in search of top form amid struggles. Chris Bassitt is not about to reach for the panic button despite the recent play of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays wasted a solid six-inning effort from Bassitt with their sixth loss in eight games, a 7-4 defeat in 10 innings to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Toronto (65-48) still leads the American League East by three games over the Boston Red Sox, an advantage built by a 49-28 record since May 8, the best run by an AL team during that stretch. Bassitt believes his club has suffered a letdown after emerging from the all-star break by winning two of three from the rival New York Yankees and three of four from the Detroit Tigers, who at the time had Major League Baseball's best record.
