Patino allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over six innings Friday against Detroit. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
Patino served up a leadoff shot to Akil Baddoo on the third pitch of the game. He later allowed a pair of runs in the second, and then a fourth and final run in the third. The right-handed rookie was in line for his fourth loss before the Rays forced extra innings. His ERA is up to 4.73 through 70.1 innings and he's allowed 10 runs through 13 frames (6.92 ERA) over his last three appearances. Patino is projected to face the Marlins at home next week.
