Garrett Whitlock tossed five strong innings in his return from a near-five-week absence due to a forearm injury, lifting the visiting Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday in Phoenix.
Boston's Enrique Hernandez had an RBI single and Reese McGuire drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt during the fourth inning. Masataka Yoshida and Jarren Duran each had two of the six hits for the Red Sox, who have won the first two contests of this series after being outscored 20-4 during a four-game losing skid.
Whitlock picked up the win after allowing one run on three hits while striking out four without walking a batter. He retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced. Marte opened the scoring in the first inning after depositing a 0-2 offering from Whitlock just inside the right-field foul pole. Marte's homer was his seventh of the season.
