Left-hander Patrick Corbin of the Arizona Diamondbacks made a rather definite statement Tuesday afternoon. That’s when he cranked out his best outing of the spring and attempted to create separation with righty Archie Bradley for the final rotation spot.
With just under three weeks remaining in spring training, the four of the five starters seem set with Zack Greinke, Taijuan Walker, Robbie Ray and Shelby Miller. The final spot is up for grabs between Bradley and Corbin.
If Corbin was serious about creating space, he seemed to drive a wedge between the competition with a stellar effort against the Texas Rangers at Salt River.
