Records four-inning save
Patrick notched a save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Twins, striking out three batters and allowing one hit over four scoreless innings.

Patrick entered in the sixth inning after Logan Henderson allowed one run over five frames as the starter. The 27-year-old righty retired nine of the 10 batters he faced over the next three frames, so manager Pat Murphy elected to keep Patrick in the game for the ninth. The decision may have been influenced by Abner Uribe working three of the previous four days and Trevor Megill pitching Friday. That proved to be a good choice, as Patrick retired the side in order to close out the contest. The save was the first of his career in just his ninth relief appearance across 37 total MLB outings. Patrick has worked out of the bullpen in each of his past three appearances and has fared well in that role, yielding just three hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over eight scoreless innings. Milwaukee has an opening in its rotation after optioning Coleman Crow to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, but Patrick could remain in the bullpen if Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is able to return from the injured list the next time a fifth starter is needed.

Works in relief Tuesday
Patrick collected his first hold while striking out a batter over a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday in the Brewers' 6-4 win over the Padres.
Análise
The Brewers haven't indicated that Patrick has lost his spot in the rotation, but the right-hander has now worked out of the bullpen for his last two appearances. Milwaukee had previously turned to him on Saturday, when starter Kyle Harrison was lifted after four innings before Patrick followed him with five strikeouts over three scoreless frames in an eventual extra-inning win over the Yankees. Milwaukee may have just taken advantage of Monday's off day to temporarily shorten its rotation to four men, so Patrick would still appear likely to make a start over the weekend in Minnesota. However, Patrick's recent usage suggests that he could be the odd man out of the rotation on a more permanent basis once Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) returns from the injured list.
