TORONTO — Bo Bichette hit a two-run homer, Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman each had two hits and three RBIs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Philadelphia 9-1 on Thursday, handing the slumping Phillies their sixth loss in seven games.
Alejandro Kirk had three hits, scored once and drove in a run as the Blue Jays took two of three from Philadelphia.
Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (6-3) allowed one run and five hits in a season-high seven innings to win for the third time in four starts.
Nick Castellanos had three hits and Kyle Schwarber had an RBI single for Philadelphia, which finished 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
The Phillies scored six runs in the opening inning of the three-game series but scored just four the rest of the way. They came in having won their previous five road series.
After allowing a career-worst 12 earned runs against Milwaukee in his previous start, left-hander Jesús Luzardo (5-2) struggled again Thursday, giving up eight runs and nine hits in a season-low 2 1/3 innings.
Straw and Heineman had RBI doubles off Luzardo in the second inning, and Bichette capped the four-run frame with his eighth homer.
Toronto scored four more and chased Luzardo in the third. Straw hit a two-run single, and two more runs scored when Trea Turner couldn't make an over-the-shoulder catch on Heineman's fly ball to shallow left field.
