Patrick Corbin’s velocity took a bit of a dip from its early season average last Thursday, and it was again a topic of conversation of tonight. He had been sitting around 92-94 mph in his first handful of starts, but in his previous start and tonight he was averaging 88-91 mph. Tonight he had difficulty locating the fastball resulting in him falling behind hitters and not allowing him to utilize his dominant slider to put hitters away as he was to begin the season.
Today would have been Tony Gwynn’s 58th birthday.
