Patino (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, walking one and fanning two, to earn the win Friday against the Giants in Game 2 of a doubleheader.
Patino has given up one or fewer runs in eight of his last nine appearances out of the bullpen, posting a 3.29 ERA with a 1.68 WHIP in 13.2 innings during that span. He has pitched just three times this month, though, so he might not play a major role for the Padres during their upcoming postseason run.
