Nationals face hot Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin

WASHINGTON -- Left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Arizona Diamondbacks look to continue their sizzling starts on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.

Corbin (4-0, 1.89 ERA) has 48 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings, and ranks second in the majors in opponent's batting average (.140) and third in walks and hits per innings pitched (0.660).

The reigning National League Player of the Week, Corbin was 2-0 for the week ending April 22 after his one-hit shutout of the San Francisco Giants and six innings of two-run ball Sunday against the San Diego Padres.
