Washington Nationals’ Patrick Corbin on first-inning struggles, settling in vs Miami Marlins

After giving up four hits and two runs in the bottom of the first inning, Patrick Corbin retired 16 of the final 17 batters he faced in Saturday afternoon’s matchup with the Miami Marlins in loanDepot park, but the one batter the Washington Nationals’ starter didn’t retire in that run, Jon Berti, hit what ended up being the game-winner, a leadoff homer to right on a 2-0 sinker in the bottom of the fifth.

Corbin ended up going six innings, throwing 77 pitches, in a 3-2 loss to the Fish, striking out six without walking any batters, and generating eight ground ball outs on the day.
