Corbin threw seven scoreless innings Friday, striking out 12 and allowing just three hits, but he wasn't involved in the decision during the Diamondbacks' extra-innings win over the Pirates.
This was a much-needed rebound after back-to-back outings of five runs allowed each. Corbin's gem, however, failed to lock him into a win as Ivan Nova matched his scoreless effort through eight innings. There have been concerns about Corbin's velocity of late, and his recent slump might've added more fuel to that issue. Still, on the whole, the left-hander has shined. Friday's outing cleans up his ERA to 3.24, and he's dazzled with a 11.3 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 93 innings. He'll hold similar upside to this affair in his next scheduled start, which'll come Wednesday at the Marlins.
