Corbin (5-17) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin yielded an unearned run in the first inning before serving up a solo homer to Stuart Fairchild in the second. The veteran southpaw then turned in four straight scoreless frames to earn his first win since June 28. He'd gone 0-7 with an abysmal 8.32 ERA in nine outings since that last victory. Corbin will carry a 6.56 ERA into his projected road outing against the Mets next weekend.

Corbin (4-17) allowed two runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin had given up at least four runs in seven straight starts entering Sunday, so this was a noticeable improvement. He yielded a two-run home run to former teammate Josh Bell in the sixth inning, and that was ultimately enough to send Corbin to the loss. The struggling southpaw has a 6.81 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 108:44 K:BB through 121.2 innings through 25 starts this year. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Reds next weekend.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in the Nationals' extra-innings loss vs the Cubs. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs got to Corbin a few times Tuesday, as he allowed runners to score in the second, fourth and sixth innings, but Corbin managed to finish the sixth and give the Nationals an opportunity to win the game. This was the southpaw's first start reaching the six-inning milestone since July 9 as he just completed a five-game stretch in which he allowed 26 runs to score over 15.2 innings. Perhaps the better performance is a sign that things are turning around. He is next scheduled to take on the newly revamped Padres lineup this weekend.

Corbin's next scheduled start will be pushed back from Friday to Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin has given up a whopping 30 earned runs in 21.2 innings over his last six starts, so the Nationals decided to bump him back a few days and give him added to time to make adjustments before his next start. Barring any further changes to the rotation, Corbin's next start will come Tuesday at home against the Cubs.

Corbin (4-16) gave up six earned runs over 0.2 innings and took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell to the Phillies. He allowed five hits, did not strike out a batter and walked two.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin failed to make it out of the first inning for the second time in three starts, and his latest rough outing pushed his ERA to an unsightly 7.02. Provided he remains on regular rest, Corbin's next start will come at home against the Padres.

Corbin (4-15) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin gave up three runs in the second inning and another in the third before being pulled with one out in the fifth frame. The left-hander racked up 12 swinging strikes but was done in by allowing five two-out hits. Corbin has struggled most of the season, but his problems have really been emphasized over his past five outings. During that stretch, he's registered a 10.29 ERA and 2.19 WHIP while taking five losses over 21 innings.

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.
