“He’s been attacking the strike zone, and I talked a lot about his slider, and it looks like his fastball coming in, so it’s been very effective,” Davey Martinez said after watching Patrick Corbin go eight-strong against Miami last week, allowing just one run in a 97-pitch outing which continued a four-start stretch for the lefty (2.82 ERA, 4.54 FIP, still a .295/.330/.537 line against) in which he’s started to look more like he did in 2018-19 than he has in ‘20-’21- and the first few months of 2022.
Martinez said before Saturday’s game he was hoping for more of the same from the lefty.
