Sure he could have kept him in there, but I don’t think it would’ve been the right decision even with the heavy usage to some of their relievers. Henderson had reached both times against Patrick, has a 167 wRC+ vs. RHP and 18 wRC+ vs. LHP, and Patrick has surrendered a .901 OPS the third time through the order
The problem is not getting enough use out of his middle relievers. If you want to make the argument that there was plenty of time to tack on runs, then put Payamps and McGee out there to try and get them to the 8th rather than Anderson and Mears
But the biggest problem of all is still the offense. Every game they’re walking a tightrope through the middle innings because they aren’t scoring any runs
