Earns sixth win Saturday Whitlock (6-2) earned the win Saturday against Cleveland after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out two.
Impact Whitlock had the tough task to pitch the ninth in a tied game, but he was efficient since he needed just 14 pitches (10 strikes) to get the job done and earn his sixth win of the season. The right-hander has had some less-than-impressive efforts in two bullpen games this month, but he's been excellent most of the time and owns a blistering 1.57 ERA on the season. Plus, he has allowed just five earned runs across 25 innings (16 appearances) from July onwards.

Wins in extras Whitlock (5-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out four over 2.2 innings to pick up the win in extra innings over Texas on Monday.
Impact Whitlock bailed out the Red Sox with one out in the ninth inning, after closer Matt Barnes made a mess of a save situation in support of starter Nathan Eovaldi. After getting out of the ninth with the score tied, Whitlock allowed the automatic runner to score in the top of the 10th inning, but the Red Sox evened it in the bottom half of the inning before sealing the win with a walkoff grand slam in the 11th. Outside of a pair of games against Rays and Yankees earlier this month, Whitlock has been exceptional out of Boston's bullpen.

Works eighth for Ottavino Whitlock allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth inning to earn the hold in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Oakland.
Impact With Adam Ottavino unavailable to pitch a third consecutive day, manager Alex Cora went with Whitlock to caretake the eighth inning for closer Matt Barnes in the ninth. He worked around a wild pitch that put a man in scoring position by inducing a couple of infield popups to end the frame. He's been one of the better stories in the Red Sox's bullpen: a Rule 5 draft pick emerging as a key component for the team with the best record in the American League. Whitlock is 3-0 with a 0.89 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and 22 strikeouts over the last 13 outings, spanning 20.1 innings.

Impact The right-hander might have allowed baserunners on his two innings of work, but only one of those reached scoring position and he limited the damage as well.
