Patrick Corbin gave up 14 runs (12 ER) in his first three starts and 14 innings pitched early this this season, but after three years of struggles in which it seemed at times he’d never sort things out, the now-33-year-old lefty has found a way.
Over six starts and 36 1⁄3 IP going into yesterday’s outing, Corbin had allowed 17 runs, 14 earned, posting a 3.47 ERA, 3.85 FIP, and a .260/.278/.390 line against over that stretch.
It was a welcome run for the southpaw who helped Washington win the World Series in the first year of his 6-year/$140M deal with the Nationals ‘19, but was not the same pitcher from 2020-2022.
