With a man on second and one out in the fifth, Whitlock -- who'd been working at 92 mph in the inning -- reached back for 94 to finish his afternoon with a strikeout. Final-ish line: 4 2/3 IP, 0R (with one runner still on), 1BB, 5Ks.
Garrett Whitlock is back out for the fifth inning - surpassing the planned duration of his outing due to his efficiency.
Whitlock is sailing through his rehab outing: 3 IP, 1H (a well-placed but not-so-well-struck double), 2 strikeouts, no walks, and 8 swings/misses in 32 pitches. He was scheduled for 4 innings and about 60 pitches. He might need to throw in the bullpen to get to the pitch count.
