WASHINGTON -- Patrick Corbin couldn't hold back his emotions as he remembered Tyler Skaggs after his start on Tuesday night.
"He was in my wedding this offseason," Corbin said when asked about his relationship with Skaggs, the Los Angeles Angels pitcher who died suddenly at age 27 on Monday.
The Washington Nationals hurler then got choked up, put his head down and paused. When he tried to talk again, he could barely get the words out.
"He's just all I'm thinking about," he said.
Corbin, 29, said he was thinking about Skaggs during dinner on Monday night when he first considered honoring his best friend by wearing Skaggs' No.
