Washington Nationals news & notes: Jesse Winker with big HR; Patrick Corbin holds D-backs to 1 ER in 3-1 win...

CORBIN VS AZ:

Pitching on extra rest last week, Patrick Corbin put together one of his stronger outings this season, holding the Detroit Tigers to a run on four hits and two walks in 5 1⁄3 IP.

He threw 94 pitches, 58 for strikes, striking out four, with just eight swinging strikes, but a total of 15 called strikes, eight on his sinker and five on his slider (with one each on his four-seam fastball and his changeup).

The one run he allowed came on a soft fly that fell into left, after a bunt single and an infield hit put two on in the third.
