Game Day: Patrick Corbin turns in solid outing

After allowing an earned run in the first inning, Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin struck out five Phillies batters en route to an encouraging outing for the left-hander.

With the D-Backs trailing 1-0, Corbin was lifted with two outs in the seventh for newly recalled right-hander Rubby De La Rosa, whom manager Torey Lovullo said was to be used in low-leverage situations.

But De La Rosa was summoned to face No. 3 hitter Aaron Altherr, whom he struck out with a runner on second base to keep the Philadelphia lead at one run.

Slow start for Arizona bats

For the first three innings of play on Friday, a return to Chase Field has not been to kind to the Diamondbacks hitters — as Arizona trails, 1-0, as play moved to the fourth.
