Patino allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while recording seven strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. He didn't factor into the decision.
The runs against the young right-hander all stemmed from home runs, with Hunter Renfroe's fourth-inning blast, which came with two aboard, doing most of the damage. Patino has now gone at least six frames in two of his last three starts, but he's also allowed a pair of round trippers in each of his last two trips to the mound. Now sporting a 4.64 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 42.2 innings, Patino will look for better results and his first win since July 29 when he likely takes the hill early next week.
