Corbin (4-14) gave up six earned runs on seven hits and a walk with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss in a 7-1 defeat against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a terrible start for Corbin who quickly found himself overmatched by the highest scoring offense in the National League. The Dodgers sent ten men to the plate in the first inning before Corbin got the hook after giving up six runs and only getting two outs. Sloppy defense was partially to blame, as a Gavin Lux double which made it 6-0 was a catchable fly ball that should have made the third out of the inning. Nevertheless, Corbin was handed his MLB-leading 14th loss of the season, and his ERA jumped to an abysmal 6.49. The veteran pitcher will try to rebound in his next start which is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against the Mets.

Corbin (4-13) took the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin has allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts after briefly appearing to have turned a corner in late June and early July. The southpaw continues to put up solid strikeout totals -- he's posted 35 punchouts in his last 31 innings -- but that's about the only bright spot in his performance. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 104.2 innings in 20 starts this year. Corbin's projected for a difficult road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Coebin (4-12) took the loss Friday, surrendering six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks over five innings as the Nationals were downed 8-4 by Atlanta. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the hits off Corbin left the yard, the sixth time in his last 12 starts the veteran lefty has served up multiple homers. Corbin carries a rough 5.78 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB through 67 innings over that stretch, but unless Washington can find a taker for his bloated contract by the trade deadline, his spot in the Nats' rotation seems secure.

Corbin (4-11) took the loss during Saturday's 4-3 defeat against Atlanta, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin struggled during the first and fourth innings -- surrendering all four runs and eight of 10 baserunners -- but was efficient otherwise and faced the minimum in the other four frames. The four runs permitted broke a four-game streak of allowing three earned runs or fewer that's seen Corbin's ERA drop from 6.65 to 5.70. He's tentatively slated to take the mound again next weekend for a rematch with Atlanta.

Corbin allowed one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings Monday against the Marlins. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin surrendered his only run of the day in the top of the third inning on an RBI single to left field, and he would exit without an opportunity to earn the win despite turning in yet another strong performance. Corbin has given up just two runs over his last two starts, fanning 16 and walking three over that stretch (15 innings).

Corbin (4-10) recorded 12 strikeouts and gave up one run over eight innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Pirates. He allowed five hits and two walks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left-hander delivered double-digit strikeouts for the first time since 2019, and he racked up an impressive 20 swinging strikes versus the Buccos. Corbin covered only 7.1 innings combined over his previous two outings, but he bounced back Tuesday with his most dominant start in years. The only damage against him came via a solo home run from Diego Castillo during the sixth inning.

Corbin (3-10) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin allowed three hits in the opening frame but was undone by a pair of solo home runs in the third inning. He has now surrendered multiple long balls in each of his last three starts, giving up a total 16 runs (nine earned) across 13.1 frames. That's added to a miserable season for Corbin, as he has a 6.60 ERA with a 63:28 K:BB across 73.2 frames.

Corbin (3-9) took the loss Thursday versus the Phillies. He allowed nine runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk while striking out two in 3.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin retired the first eight batters in order before a two-out error by Cesar Hernandez in the third inning. From there, it all unraveled, as the Phillies rallied for seven unearned runs. They added another pair of runs in the fourth, bouncing Corbin from the game after a brutal start. Despite allowing at least seven hits in each of his last six starts, he's managed to break even with a 3-3 record in that span. He's at a 6.59 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 51:10 K:BB across 69.2 innings overall through 14 starts. The 32-year-old will look to gain more command next week in a road start in Baltimore.

Corbin (3-8) picked up the win in Saturday's 8-6 victory over the Brewers, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over six-plus innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw got plenty of run support and took an 8-1 lead into the seventh inning before hitting the wall and costing himself his fifth quality start of the season by allowing four straight hits, including two doubles and a homer. Corbin has won three of his last four outings, but his 6.65 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB through 66.1 innings on the year remain grim reminders of the fantasy risk he poses despite his recent success.

Corbin (2-8) earned the victory Sunday in Cincinnati, striking out five in six innings while allowing three runs on nine hits.
EDGE Analysis
After a tumultuous first inning where Corbin allowed three runs on five hits, he settled down and held the Reds' lineup scoreless over the next five frames. It was just the third time in 12 starts where the lefty pitched at least six innings and allowed three or fewer runs. For the season, he has a 6.71 ERA and 1.76 WHIP and opponents are hitting .318 against him in a season where the league batting average is .240. His next start will likely be next weekend against Milwaukee.
