The sophomore right-hander struck out six in three scoreless innings with a mid-80s fastball and a tight 74-76 mph breaking ball that he executed time after time. He commanded and expanded at will to his gloveside, inducing repeated swing/miss. Catton returned to the mound in Saturday's third game of the series with more stellar relief. He allowed just one hit and two runs over four innings.
