Corbin (2-11) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing 11 runs (10 earned) on 13 hits while striking out three over three innings.
EDGE Analysis
As Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com notes, Corbin's 11 runs allowed in a single outing are the most in franchise history. Corbin only gave up one home run, which came in the opening frame on a two-run blast by Eugenio Suarez. The Diamondbacks would go on to mount on seven more runs in the second and another four in the third before Corbin's night was all said and done. Arizona had 13 hits in its first 19 at-bats against Corbin. The veteran southpaw had come into Tuesday having posted back-to-back quality outings. Now, Corbin will take a 5.88 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 89:39 K:BB in 121 innings into a projected meeting with the Giants to begin next week.

Corbin (2-10) took the loss against San Diego on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin completed seven frames for just the second time this season and tied a campaign-high with seven punchouts, but he had the misfortune of being the opposing starter in Dylan Cease's first career no-hitter. In spite of that, Corbin continued a solid beginning to the second half of the season, as he's yielded four runs and posted a 13:3 K:BB over 13 innings across two post-break starts. His next start is tentatively lined up to come next week in Arizona.

Corbin (2-9) earned the win Friday over the Reds, allowing one run on three hits while striking out six over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was sharp Friday, holding Cincinnati to a lone third-inning run en route to his first win since May 10. The 35-year-old southpaw had struggled in four starts prior to the All-Star break, allowing 14 runs over 23 innings. Overall, Corbin sports a 5.35 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP and 79:36 K:BB through 20 starts (111 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with San Diego next week in his next outing.

Corbin (1-9) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five-plus innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin gave up a solo homer in the first inning but then cruised for the next four frames and had a 2-1 lead entering the sixth. However, the veteran lefty gave up three straight hits -- including an RBI double -- to begin that inning, and the two runners he left on base when he departed later came around to score. That clinched another loss for Corbin, who is now 0-6 since his most recent -- and still only -- win of the campaign, which occurred May 10 in Boston. Corbin's 5.57 ERA on the season is far from appealing, but he's at least given Washington some length, ranking second on the team with 105.0 IP and averaging 5.2 frames per start.

Corbin did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin opened with three scoreless innings but allowed three runs over the fourth and fifth frames before departing with a 5-3 lead. The southpaw generated only five swinging strikes on 91 pitches but has now completed at least five innings in 12 consecutive outings. Despite the solid volume this season, the 34-year-old owns a 5.49 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 68:35 K:BB over 100 innings. He lines up for a road matchup with the Mets next week.

Corbin (1-8) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings against the Rays. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin got bitten by the home-run bug in the second inning, giving up two blasts that allowed three runs to cross the plate. Otherwise, a fourth-inning sac fly was the only other damage to his line. It was the first time in four games Corbin had allowed a long ball, and he's had 10 games this season in which he's not allowed a ball to leave the yard. However, over the other seven instances, including Sunday, he's allowed multiple homers on five occasions. Corbin currently carries a season ERA of 5.49, but even including this start, his ERA has been a solid 3.47 over his last four starts spanning 23.1 innings. Corbin's next outing is slated to take place at home next weekend when the Cardinals visit the nation's capital to take on the Nationals.

Corbin allowed three runs on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over seven innings to take a no-decision versus the Padres on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin threw 97 pitches (59 strikes) in his longest outing of the season. This was his fourth quality start, though he hasn't earned a win in any of those appearances and has gone winless over eight consecutive starts. For the season, Corbin has a 5.46 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 60:32 K:BB through 89 innings across 16 starts. The southpaw would be on regular rest to start this weekend versus the Rays, but with Josiah Gray (elbow) potentially returning after a rehab appearance Tuesday, it's unclear if Corbin will remain in the Nationals' rotation moving forward.

Corbin came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty established a season high in strikeouts despite tossing only 53 of 90 pitches for strikes, but Corbin left the mound with the Nats in a 1-0 hole before they took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth inning. He's given up three earned runs or less in four of his last five starts, and while his 4.23 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB through 27.2 innings over that stretch aren't particularly impressive, they represent a big improvement on his season-long numbers. Corbin will look for his first win since May 10 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Diego.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Tigers. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was initially slated to have his spot in the rotation skipped, but with MacKenzie Gore being pushed back a day due to a fingernail issue, Corbin took the ball and pitched well, allowing just the one run while matching a season low with six baserunners allowed. It was the third time this season in 14 starts that Corbin has allowed one or fewer runs. Corbin tentatively remains a member of the rotation for now, but with the impending return of Josiah Gray (elbow), who has a rehab start scheduled for tomorrow, and the eventual return of Trevor Williams (right flexor strain), Corbin's time in the rotation could be drawing to an end.

Corbin will make his next start Thursday in Detroit, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nationals had planned to skip Corbin's turn in the rotation, but with MacKenzie Gore's (fingernail) getting pushed back a day in the pitching schedule, Corbin will step in to take the ball Thursday. The left-hander has had another disastrous season, posting a 6.15 ERA and 44:27 K:BB over 71.2 innings covering 13 starts.
