Patrick Corbin extended a winless streak to six straight outings with a loss in a 4 2⁄3-inning start against the Atlanta Braves last weekend in Nationals Park, giving up seven hits, two walks, and six earned runs in a 97-pitch turn in Washington’s rotation which left him with a brutal 7.83 ERA and a .301/.347/.588 line against in 33 1⁄3 IP over that stretch.
His manager talked after the loss, which saw Corbin give up four of the six runs he allowed in his final inning of work in the fifth, struggling again the third time through the opposing team’s order, about needing to find a fix for the 32-year-old lefty, who is in the third year of his 6-year/$140M deal with the club.
