Starters Zach Davies and Patrick Corbin gave up three runs each, in five innings each, with both leaving the second of four between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs this week in Wrigley Field early, with the score tied at 3-3, and this one was decided in the ‘pen, with Nats’ righty Will Harris giving up a leadoff walk and a one-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to give the home team the lead in what ended up a 6-3 win.
Corbin vs the Cubs: Patrick Corbin held the Phillies to a run on five hits in seven innings of work on the mound in the nation’s capital last week, walking no one and striking out nine.
