With six earned runs allowed in 2⁄3 of an inning of work in an August 6th start against the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park, Patrick Corbin was left with a 7.02 ERA, a 4.97 FIP, 40 walks, 102 Ks, and a .331/.387/.533 line against in 23 starts and 110 1⁄3 IP on the year in his fourth season in Washington’s rotation. Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez decided after Corbin’s second 2⁄3 of an inning outing in three starts he needed to take a break and work on some things between appearances.
