Patrick Corbin Brilliant Against Pirates
7 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin tossed a gem on Friday night, shutting out the Pirates over seven brilliant innings. Corbin only surrendered three hits while striking out a career-high 12 batters. Thanks to a Brad Boxberger blown save, Corbin did not factor in the decision. He generated 21 swinging strikes with his slider, tying Tyson Ross for the most with a slider since 2008. It was a true bounce-back performance from Corbin, who had given up at least five runs in three of his four starts prior to Friday night. He will look to continue rolling in his next start against the Marlins.
