  • Over his last two outings, Whitney is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA, allowing just one run on 10 hits over 14 innings, striking out 24 and walking one.
  • Britt, who had his 11-game hitting streak snapped in the previous outing, re-starts his streak at two games and has now hit safely in 13 of 14 contests this year.
  • Keneston's seven-game hit streak was halted in game one. He has hit safely in eight of his last nine.
