As the Red Sox get set to play their first home game of the season on Friday afternoon, they come off their first road trip of 2022 with a .500 record. As one would imagine from that record, there is some good to go with some bad, but in the positive category there can’t be too many aspects of the early-season performance that outshines what Garrett Whitlock has done. After a rookie campaign in 2021 that shocked everyone and ended with him as far and away the most trustworthy arm in the bullpen, he has come back this year with two multi-inning relief appearances, allowing a run over 6 1⁄3 innings, striking out six and walking only one.
