Patrick Corbin gave up a leadoff single on a sinker to Ronald Acuña, Jr. when he faced off against the Braves in Atlanta last weekend, and two outs later he left a slider up for Austin Riley, who hit it 422 feet to left field for a two-run homer and a 2-0 lead, early in the 18th start of the year for the Washington Nationals’ lefty.
Four singles and an error in the fourth led to the other two runs the southpaw gave up in a six-inning, 102-pitch outing in what ended up a 4-3 loss to the Nats’ NL East rivals.
