Patrick Corbin walked four batters in five scoreless innings on the mound against the New York Mets last week, in an 86-pitch outing at home in D.C. in which he struck out five of 21 hitters he faced.
“I think Patrick was kind of vintage Corbin — two-seam fastballs down instead of the four-seamers up, and induced a lot of ground balls and a lot of weak contact, and like he did the last couple of starts, he got some early swings and early contact,” GM Mike Rizzo told 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies the morning after Corbin’s 7th turn in the rotation.
