Whit Merrifield hit a tiebreaking homer and fill-in starter Chris Bassitt pitched six solid innings as the Toronto Blue Jays notched a 5-2 victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday afternoon.
Bo Bichette also homered, and George Springer had a two-run single for the Blue Jays, who beat Arizona for the second straight day and have won seven of their last eight games. Merrifield and Springer each had two hits and two RBIs.
Bassitt started for the Blue Jays after All-Star Kevin Gausman was scratched earlier Sunday due to left side discomfort. He gave up two runs and seven hits and struck out five and walked none. Toronto All-Star closer Jordan Romano was unavailable for the second straight game. Yimi Garcia finished up and allowed two hits in the ninth before retiring Evan Longoria and Alek Thomas to record his second save of the season.
