In his final first-half outing, Patrick Corbin held the Texas Rangers to a run on five hits in his seven innings of work on the mound, walking one and striking out six in a 91-pitch effort at home in Washington, D.C.
Corbin followed up on the positive start with 5 1⁄3 innings on the mound against the Cubs in Chicago’s Wrigley Field, giving up six hits, a walk, and three earned runs in what ended up a lopsided loss.
His manager, Davey Martinez, liked what he saw from the recently-turned 34-year-old lefty in both of the outings.
