Some needed pitching help could be on the way soon for the Red Sox following their 10-9 Opening Day loss to the Orioles.
Garrett Whitlock pitched in his first rehab assignment on Friday, pitching for the Worcester Red Sox in their season opener.
The good news for the Red Sox was that Whitlock was in command of the strike zone, throwing 50 strikes in 75 pitches. He didn’t last as long though as originally expected. He pitched just four innings after being scheduled for five because he reached his pitch limit as he prepares to be a full-time starter for the first time in his MLB career.
