“I felt really good,” Bassitt said. “Execution was really good, I thought, and I thought our game plan was great.” Chapman has opened the season on a tear. He entered Tuesday with 12 extra-base hits and was tied with Tampa Bay’s Wander Franco for the major league lead. He added two more on Tuesday with the homer and a double in the sixth.
Urquidy allowed four runs and seven hits while walking two and striking out four in 4 1/3 innings. It was a rough start for Urquidy, who had given up just four runs through 15 1/3 innings in his first three starts.
