Diamondbacks starting pitcher Patrick Corbin made a strong statement in his final push to make the rotation Friday, pitching a regular season workload against the Reds.
Corbin threw 93 pitches in six innings and limited the Reds to just two hits. He shut them out, allowing just one extra-base hit. Corbin walked two batters and struck out seven while lowering his spring ERA to 2.81.
The Diamondbacks are expected to make their final cuts Saturday, and the rotation will likely be announced at the same time. Corbin posted a 4.54 ERA in 107 innings last season, and appears to be battling with Randall Delgado for the final spot.
