Corbin (6-4) allowed four runs on six hits and one walk across six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Braves. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
All the major damage to Corbin's ledger came in the third inning, when he allowed four runs on five hits as the home team took control. He pitched well otherwise, inducing 10 groundball outs and recording three 1-2-3 innings, but the one poor frame was enough to sink him to a loss. Nevertheless, Corbin heads into the All-Star break with a shiny 3.24 ERA to go along with a 1.05 WHIP and a stellar 11.0 K/9.

Corbin held the Cardinals to one run on six hits and two walks with six hits through six innings but was left with a no-decision Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was on point, as he induced 13 swinging strikes in nine groundball outs in his third straight quality start. In that span, Corbin has thrown 20 innings with 23 strikeouts against just three walks with two runs allowed. His slider was particularly on point Wednesday, as it induced 10 swinging strikes on just 37 offerings. He'll take a 3.05 ERA into his next outing Tuesday against the Rockies.

Corbin (6-2) struck out seven and walked two in a win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits in 6.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin got back in the win column Tuesday, outdueling Madison Bumgarner for his seventh quality start on the year. Corbin now carries an excellent 2.87 ERA and 0.94 WHIP while holding opponents to a .188 batting average. His 105 strikeouts trail only Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, and Chris Sale across baseball, as he has a soaring 11.6 K/9 on the season. His next start will be a matchup with the Pirates at home.

Corbin (5-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out 10 over six innings against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
After being staked out to an early 4-0 lead, Corbin was done in by the long ball. He yielded a game-tying grand slam in the fourth inning before surrendering a two-run shot in the sixth. Even with the rare bad outing, Corbin was able to pad his strikeout numbers and is now posting an 11.7 K/9 that ranks behind only Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole and Chris Sale among qualified starters. He'll look to rebound Tuesday against the Giants.

Corbin (5-1) allowed one run on four hits in a win Friday over Oakland, striking out seven and walking one in seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin's lone run allowed came from a home run by Mark Canha in the third. He was otherwise very effective, throwing 63 of 99 pitches for strikes while allowing just two extra-base hits. Corbin is now holding opponents to a meek .176 batting average and has an 88:19 K:BB in 69.1 innings. His next start is a favorable matchup against the Reds at home.

Corbin (4-1) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk despite eight strikeouts Monday night in a loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was sharp through six innings, but he allowed a pair of singles to open the seventh and the typically solid Arizona bullpen couldn't clean up his mess, ruining an otherwise quality start. Though he couldn't finish strong through the seventh, it was encouraging to see Corbin's velocity stay high throughout the game. After seeing his velocity drop into the high 80s his last time out, Corbin was able to sustain his typical low-90s velocity into the later innings of this start and break the 92 mph barrier he had been struggling to reach of late. Corbin will look to get back to his winning ways Sunday against the Mets.

Corbin's average fastball velocity has sat between 89-to-90 miles per hour over his last two outings and dropped to 87-to-88 mph range during the final inning of his start Wednesday against the Dodgers, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a 1.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 11 frames over the past two starts, Corbin's results haven't indicated any obvious decline, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo admitted that the lefty's command hasn't been as sharp of late. That's been especially apparent when Corbin throws his best pitch (the slider), as he's generated swing and misses on the offering 16 percent of the time in May after drawing whiffs at a nearly 33 percent clip over his first six starts. in addition to his slider finding the dirt more than usual, Corbin's fastball velocity readings bring additional cause for concern. Though Corbin has never thrown major heat, the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch over 92 mph his past two times out after averaging nearly 93 mph prior to that has given him less margin for error when he works in the zone. While the 28-year-old insists he's healthy and expects his velocity and command to rebound, fantasy owners may nonetheless want to consider shopping him to guard against the bottom falling out completely.

Corbin allowed one run on three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts through five innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin held opponents under two runs scored for the fourth time in eight starts, and he still hasn't allowed more than three runs all season long. That said, Corbin was wild Wednesday, as he needed 96 pitches to get through five innings, and just 50 of those were strikes. He threw just eight of his 27 sliders for strikes, five of which were swinging -- only three were actually in the strike zone, per Brooks Baseball. Wednesday's start from Corbin was essentially the definition of effectively wild. Still, it was effective, and Corbin will carry a 2.12 ERA into Monday's start against the Brewers.

Corbin allowed one earned run on three hits while walking two and striking out five across six innings Thursday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin left the game in line for the win after another solid six-inning outing, but the Diamondbacks' bullpen failed to maintain the lead. He didn't have his strikeout pitch working as has been the case in his previous starts, recording a season-low 10 swinging strikes. However, through seven starts has has posted 11.74 K/9 and a 50 percent groundball rate to back up his 2.15 ERA. He has been a breakout performer at the position in the early going and his strong peripheral stats indicate his results have been earned.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Corbin is "feeling fine" after he took a groundball off the ring finger on his left (throwing) hand during an outing Saturday against the Nationals, Matt Kelly of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin said his hand went numb for a moment after the play, but after consulting with team trainers and tossing a few warmup pitches, the lefty was allowed to remain in the game. He ended up taking a no-decision in the contest, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings. Unless the finger provides some unexpected complications over the next few days, Corbin will make his next start in Thursday's series finale against the Dodgers, opposing Alex Wood in that game.
