Patrick Corbin’s 6.75 ERA and 4.24 FIP in his last four starts before tonight, weren’t too far off his 6.65 ERA and 4.55 FIP overall on the season, but the Washington Nationals’ 32-year-old left-hander earned Ws in three of those four turns in the rotation after going winless in his first nine starts of the 2022 campaign (6.60 ERA, 4.72 FIP).
Corbin and the Nats beat the Milwaukee Brewers in his previous outing before tonight, with the southpaw surrendering seven hits, two walks, and four runs in six innings of work in the 8-6 win.
