Yes, Patrick Corbin did give up six hits and four runs on three home runs in seven innings on the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in the nation’s capital, which, yeah, not great, but there were also positive signs for the 32-year-old southpaw, who has struggled through another up-and down season in the third year of his 6-year/$140M deal with Washington’s Nationals.
“I watched Patrick Corbin pitch today, and take away the seventh inning, the line, I thought that’s the best he’s thrown the ball all year,” manager Davey Martinez said after the 5-4 loss last night.
