FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Top pitching prospect Jose Berrios is doing his best to make the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation as interesting as possible.
Berrios, ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect by MLBPipeline.com, was impressive on Thursday, tossing three scoreless innings in an 8-2 win over the Red Sox at JetBlue Park. The right-hander, who is competing with Ricky Nolasco, Tommy Milone and Trevor May for the final rotation spot, allowed one hit on an infield single and struck out two.
