Whitlock (6-2) earned the win Saturday against Cleveland after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out two.
Whitlock was tasked with pitching the ninth in a tie game. He was efficient, needing 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 stellar 1.57 ERA on the season. Plus, he has allowed just five earned runs across 25 innings (16 appearances) since the start of July.
