Patrick Corbin will start for the Diamondbacks in their regular-season opener against the Dodgers. That game will be played on March 22 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Australia. D'Backs manager Kirk Gibson made the announcement Monday on his personal Twitter account, also anointing Trevor Cahill as the Game 2 starter for the two-game set in Sydney. Corbin, 24, went 14-8 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 178/54 K/BB ratio in 208 1/3 innings last season for the Snakes.
