Patrick allowed seven hits, two walks, three strikeouts and one run in five innings against the Samsung Lions at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 10th.
Patrick, who wore a KT uniform as a substitute for William Cuevas, made his debut against Hanwha on the 18th of last month, but lost one game and had an ERA of 1.13 in four games without reporting his first win.
On this day, Patrick had difficulties, such as getting on base every inning, but he set the stage for victory by blocking it with the least number of runs.
I was nervous about the start of the first inning. He gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Kim Sung-yoon, followed by striking out Soo-ho. However, Koo Ja-wook's walk gave him one out and runners on first and second bases. He caught Lewin Diaz with a straight hit to left field, but allowed Kim Young-woong to make a timely hit and lost his first run. Kang Min-ho's infield hit pushed the bases to the brink of being loaded, but he finished the inning by handling Lee Jae-hyun directly with a pitcher ground ball.
There was also a base in the top of the second inning, but it did not lead to a run. After one out, Yang Yang-geun's hit and Kim Sung-yoon's grounder made it to second base with two outs. However, he ended the inning by inducing a swing and miss with a curve that fell low in 1B2S against Soo-ho.
Patrick, who had a hit by Kim Young-woong with two outs in the top of the third inning but did not lose a run, got two outs and one and two outs in the top of the fourth inning with a defensive error and a hit, but finished the inning without a run.
Patrick, who was hit by leadoff hitter Koo Ja-wook in the top of the fifth inning, caught Diaz with a fly ball to shortstop, but Kim Young-woong's double faced a crisis of losing runs with two outs and runners on the second and third bases. However, after striking out Kang Min-ho, he did not lose a point while dealing with Lee Jae-hyun with a fly ball to center field.
While Patrick played five innings, KT's batters supported six runs.
Patrick finished the day by handing over the mound to Woo Kyu-min in the bottom of the sixth inning. KT won 9-2, and Patrick was able to secure his first win of the season.

Patrick pitched 89 pitches on the day. He could have pitched in the sixth inning, but he didn't overdo it as he pitched against Hanwha on the 5th and took the mound after a four-day break. It was also still in the 'BuildUp' phase. Patrick said "This was the number of pitches planned before the game. There is a smart plan. From the next game, there is no limit on the number of pitches, so I'm going to throw as much as I can."
KT has hosted the 2025 Y Water Festival since July 17. An unusual scene of cheering, such as shooting water cannons. Patrick says "I think it's amazing every game. It's so interesting and funny," he smiled.
KT rose to fifth place with the victory on the day. Patrick said "The second half is a very important moment for the team. The goal is to stay healthy until the end. He expressed his determination.
