Luis Patiño(1-1, 3.95 ERA) went 5.2 innings of scoreless, four hit baseball, Yandy Díaz drove in three runs and the Tampa Bay Rays(63-54) defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-1 at the Trop on Thursday.
Patiño was recalled from Triple-A Durham to make his first big league appearance since July 23, and was masterful which means he will likely stay here a while.
Díaz homered on the second pitch from KC yougster Max Castillo leading off the first, and had a two-run double during a five-run seventh off Royals vet Brad Keller, who’s demise has continued as has their season at 48-72.
