Patrick Corbin extended an unbeaten streak to 11-straight starts last time out before facing the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, holding the Milwaukee Brewers to a run on seven hits over six innings, but he received no decision in what ended up a 2-1 win for Washington, leaving him winless in his previous three outings.
Davey Martinez talked after Corbin walked four and struck out eighth in a 110-pitch start, about what was working for the left-hander against the Brewers.
“The scouting report was to throw breaking balls down in the zone,” Martinez said, “and he can be really effective when guys start swinging at him, as we know, so he kept us in the ballgame, pitched well, got out of some jams, pitch count got up there in the sixth inning, but he gave us what we needed.
