Wearing No. 45 as a tribute to his friend Tyler Skaggs, who died on Monday in a Texas hotel room, former teammate Patrick Corbin took the mound tonight in the nation’s capital with a heavy heart and tossed seven strong against the Miami Marlins, holding Washington’s rivals to a run on six hits in what was a 2-1 game in the Nationals’ favor when he was done for the night.
The Fish tied it at 2-2 in the eighth, and it was still tied in the bottom of the ninth when Yan Gomes reached on an error/infield hit and scored on a walk-off double by Trea Turner, 3-2.
