The Washington Nationals were given a gift yesterday afternoon by starter Patrick Corbin.
By going seven and two-thirds innings, Corbin made the bullpen record only four outs to secure the win.
Unfortunately, starters going deep into ballgames has become more of a necessity than a wish. This bullpen is so inconsistent, and when blows up it gets ugly quickly.
Starting today, that ugly cannot happen frequently. That goes for the starters too, but more significantly the bullpen. Here is why.
To start this season, the Nats have had four off days.
