The Marlins pitching staff contained the hot-hitting Nationals when it mattered most, clinging to a 3-2 win on Saturday afternoon.
Corbin has close to $100 million remaining on his contract while Thompson had never pitched beyond five innings in a major league game before, but you wouldn’t know it from watching this matchup. Miami’s rookie right-hander was the more dominant pitcher.
Thompson’s 11 strikeouts were the most by any Marlins pitcher in more than two years (since Caleb Smith on May 7, 2019). Seven of those came on curveballs.
