There were some positives for Patrick Corbin to build on coming out of his seven-inning, 114-pitch outing against the New York Mets last week in the nation’s capital, with the left-hander generating 15 ground balls and 11 groundouts, while giving up three earned runs overall, on 11 hits and one walk.
“Yeah, I thought I pitched pretty well,” Corbin told reporters in his post game Zoom call after that start.
“Getting through that seventh inning I thought was huge, I thought early on I made some pitches, they got some hits that fell in that necessarily weren’t hit that hard, but I felt like I was able to pitch out of a couple jams, which was good, and overall felt great, and to get around [114] pitches today, feeling strong to that point, I was pleased with it.
