Corbin did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin struggled early and often against the Cubs' lineup, giving up one run on three singles in the opening frame before then coughing up a two-run homer in the third. The veteran lefty was later relieved by Derek Law with one out in the fifth after the former allowed the first three batters to reach. Corbin did generate 12 swings and misses on the night, though it marked the first time he's failed to make it through five innings since Aug. 16 against the Phillies (span of five starts). He now carries a 6.14 ERA in September through four outings to go along with a strong 23:5 K:BB.

Corbin (6-13) earned the win against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin tossed three 1-2-3 innings and allowed just one extra-base hit while generating 11 whiffs on 94 pitches. Despite enduring a seven-run disaster Sunday, the southpaw has yielded two earned runs or fewer in four of his past five outings with three quality starts. On the season, he owns a 5.45 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 132:52 K:BB across 165 innings and lines up to face the Cubs next week.

Corbin (5-13) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin entered the contest having allowed three runs total while accumulating wins in each of his last three starts but allowed four runs in the first and seven total over his six-inning performance. The seven runs allowed represented the second time since mid-June that he's allowed more than four runs in a start. Corbin's next opportunity to eat innings for the Nationals is tentatively slated to take place at home against the Marlins.

Corbin (4-12) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing two hits and two walks. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
With this 104-pitch effort, the 35-year-old has posted consecutive wins for the first time since Aug. 2023. Corbin generated a convincing 13 whiffs en route to his six punchouts, as the Yankees lineup was flummoxed by his slider and sinker, which caused five swings and misses apiece. Despite another rough year from the veteran southpaw, he finishes out a decent August, going 2-1 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 26.1 innings across five starts. Corbin is tentatively scheduled to make his first start of September against the Marlins in Miami next week.

Corbin (3-12) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin tossed 95 pitches in holding the Rockies to just one run, compliments of a sixth-inning solo blast by Brenton Doyle. It marks just the second time this season Corbin has allowed one run while completing at least six innings. The outing lowered Corbin's ERA to 5.73 with a 1.54 WHIP and 107 strikeouts over 141.1 innings spanning 26 starts. He's next slated to take the hill in a home matchup with the Yankees early next week.

Corbin came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left-hander remains stuck on 99 career wins, but Corbin wasn't efficient enough to have gotten No. 100 on Friday even if he had gotten some support from the Washington offense. The Phillies put runners in scoring position in four of the five frames Corbin worked but only broke through in the third, and he left the mound after 96 pitches (58 strikes) with the Nats down 2-0. Corbin has gone five straight starts without a win, stumbling to an 8.51 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 24.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look for that elusive 100th victory in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Rockies.

Corbin came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Angels, giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old lefty remains arguably the worst regular starter in MLB. Corbin has a rough 7.25 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB through seven starts and 36 innings since the beginning of July, and his 5.98 ERA on the season is the highest in the majors among qualified pitchers. Should Cade Cavalli (elbow) make it back before the end of the season, it'll likely be Corbin who gets bumped from the rotation to make room for him, but until then the Nationals don't seem to have any better options. Corbin lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

Corbin (2-12) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Giants. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Things went awry for the veteran southpaw out the gate, as he allowed a leadoff 416-foot homer to Tyler Fitzgerald. Corbin allowed another homer of the three-run variety to Matt Chapman in the third inning, cementing his 12th loss, tying him for the most in the league. It's been another rough season for the 35-year-old, as he now sports a 5.88 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 127 innings on the year. Corbin is currently scheduled to face the Angels at home in his next start this weekend.
