Chad Patrick pitched four scoreless innings for his first career save Saturday in a 2-1 game against the Twins.
Most three-plus inning saves comes in 11-2 games, but not tonight. With Abner Uribe, Trevor Megill and Aaron Ashby all working last night, the Brewers just stuck with Patrick as he allowed one hit, walked none and struck out three over the final four innings. He wound up throwing 52 pitches on three days’ rest in his third straight relief appearance. It looks like the Brewers intend to keep him in the pen going forward, making him pretty useless in mixed leagues. He’ll remain quite valuable to his major league team, though.
