Latos allowed three runs on five hits in 4.1 innings of an exhibition game against the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Friday marked Latos' final tune-up before the start of the regular season, and the results were only slightly better than his four Cactus League appearances (in which he allowed 13 runs on 18 hits in 8.2 innings). He is still slated to start the year as the team's fifth starter, but there may be a short leash if he stumbles out of the gate.
