Patrick Corbin, looking to bounce back from back-to-back down years in 2020-21, got off to a good start in his 2022 debut, throwing four scoreless on Opening Day in D.C. last week.
It went a bit pear-shaped for him in the fifth, however, and he ended up being charged with two runs overall in 4+ innings in which he gave up five hits total and two free passes.
“I loved it,” Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez told reporters when asked to assess Corbin’s start following the 5-1 loss to the New York Mets in the season opener.
