Unbeaten in five starts this month going into his start on Saturday afternoon, at (3-0) with the Washington Nationals 4-1 in his outings, Patrick Corbin had settled in this season, after what was a pretty rough start. And the 31-year-old southpaw had put up a 3.82 ERA, eight walks, 22 Ks, and a .288/.331/.441 line against in 30 2⁄3 IP in May before facing Milwaukee’s Brewers.
The solid month of May left Corbin with a 6.13 ERA, a 5.63 FIP, 3.45 BB/9, and 6.89 K/9 in nine starts and 47 IP overall this season.
