EDGE Analysis
Whitlock notched his first save of 2023 (ninth of his career) Friday night with the two-inning outing. The 27-year-old righty has been solid in a relief role throughout September with a 2.89 ERA, 0.86 ERA and 10:2 K:BB over 9.1 innings. The 33-pitch, multi-inning effort likely ends Whitlock's tough season in which he's thrown 71.2 innings to the tune of a 5.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 72:13 K:BB.
