“You can’t let guys off the hook,” Toronto Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider said, as quoted on MLB.com, after Patrick Corbin gave up three runs in the second inning of his start in the nation’s capital last week, but limited the damage after that, giving up just the three runs in what ended up a six-inning, 92-pitch start.
“Whether it’s Corbin or [expletive] Babe Ruth, it doesn’t matter,” Schneider said. “Cy Young, it doesn’t matter. You have to keep grinding. That’s what we’ll address going forward.”
Corbin stranded a single and a walk in the third, stranded two in the fourth, and retired the last eight batters he faced in the outing.
