Garrett Whitlock, Red Sox setup man, was frustrated after blowing a save against the Athletics on Sunday. The error occurred in the eighth inning when Whitlock and catcher Jake Rogers threw a fourth straight two-seamer, resulting in a game-tying RBI double by Jonah Heim. In the ninth inning, closer Aroldis Chapman gave up the go-ahead run, leading to a 4-3 loss for Boston.
Whitlock admitted he wasn't frustrated with the pitch's location, but with his decision to throw it. He stated that he should have thrown either a changeup or slider. Whitlock also expressed frustration for not seeing Heim, as it led to the double that proved difficult to catch.
