Corbin (4-6) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on 11 hits and one walk over six innings against Arizona. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin allowed a season-high 11 hits but walked only one batter after issuing eight free passes across his past two starts and posted his sixth quality start of the year. The veteran left-hander has given up multiple runs in each of his 13 starts this season and holds a 4.89 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB over 73.2 innings. Corbin is pitching better than he has over the previous two seasons, but he's still not doing enough to warrant much attention in standard fantasy leagues.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw got ambushed for three runs in the first inning on homers by Mookie Betts and Will Smith, but Corbin shook it off and gave the Nationals a chance to mount a comeback, exiting after 88 pitches (50 strikes). The 33-year-old saw his three-start win streak snapped, but he still wraps up May with a respectable 4.21 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, albeit with a subpar 21:9 K:BB through 36.1 innings.

Corbin (4-5) picked up the win Friday despite coughing up six runs on seven hits and four walks over 6.1 innings in a wild 12-10 victory over the Royals. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty was down 3-1 after five innings, and after the Nationals erupted for eight runs in the top of the sixth, Corbin did his best to give it all back in the bottom of the seventh. He exited after 108 pitches (66 strikes) -- the first time this season he's seen a triple-digit pitch count -- and he'll carry a 4.88 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB through 62.2 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.

Corbin (3-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Tigers, giving up two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
It looked like the veteran lefty might be headed for disaster after Spencer Torkelson took him deep for a two-run shot in the first inning, but Corbin settled in and delivered his fourth straight quality start and sixth in his last seven outings. Over that seven-start stretch, the 33-year-old has a 3.40 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB through 42.1 innings, and while he no longer offers the strikeout upside he did at his peak, he's finding a way to be effective. Corbin will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend in Kansas City.

Corbin (2-5) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk across six innings during a 10-3 win over the Mets. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin allowed three or fewer earned runs and completed at least five innings for a sixth straight start. During that stretch, the left-hander has posted a 22:4 K:BB across 36.1 innings. Corbin has been far from perfect, but his recent string of solid starts is a step in the right direction after he surrendered 14 runs over his first 14 innings this season. Overall, he sports a 4.65 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over nine outings (50.1 innings) and will look to make it four straight quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set versus the Tigers.

Corbin (1-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings, but he took the loss Tuesday versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin gave up a two-run double to Mitch Haniger in the first inning and a solo home run to Casey Schmitt in the fourth. Over his last five outings, Corbin has managed four quality starts, and this was his second no-walk effort in a row. The southpaw had a 4.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB through 44.1 innings over eight starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Mets next week.

Corbin didn't factor in the decision in Thursday's win against the Cubs after he gave up two runs on three hits over seven innings. He struck out six and did not walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander cruised through the first seven innings with just one hit allowed, but he was pulled in the eighth after giving up a pair of singles, both of which came around to score. Chicago tied the game 3-3 later in the frame, robbing Corbin of his second win of the year. Still, it was the 33-year-old's best start of the season, and he generated 12 swinging strikes on 80 pitches. His 5.17 ERA for the year remains unsightly, though he's pitched well in his past four outings with a 2.96 ERA and 18:3 K:BB across 24.1 frames.

Corbin (1-4) took the loss against Pittsburgh in the first contest of a twin bill Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin gave up a run in each of the second and fourth innings and entered the sixth engaged in a 2-2 tie. He was pulled with one out and a runner on second base, and a Miguel Andujar homer later in the frame attached another run to his ledger to put him in line for the loss. While Corbin still holds an uninspiring 5.47 ERA on the campaign, he's giving Washington decent length, going at least five innings in each of his past five starts. The veteran southpaw has been pitching fairly well of late, allowing a tolerable eight earned runs across 17.1 frames over his past three outings.

Corbin (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Twins after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was handed an early lead after the Nationals got on the board in the opening frame, but the team managed just three hits, leaving him with little room for error. The 33-year-old escaped with the bases loaded in the second but gave the lead up in the fourth after surrendering solo home runs to Jorge Polanco and Michael Taylor. The Twins tacked on an insurance run in the fifth before Corbin finished up his outing with a clean sixth. The southpaw has now pitched back-to-back quality starts, and he also racked up a season-high six strikeouts Sunday. He sits at a 5.88 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and a 19:8 K:BB over 26 innings, and tentatively lines up to face the Pirates at home next weekend.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and zero walks over six innings against the Guardians. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
All of the damage against Corbin came in the fourth inning. He allowed three doubles in the frame, and the Guardians took advantage of two National errors to score four runs, though just two were charged to Corbin. He was spared another loss, however, when Washington rallied to take a 7-6 lead in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old Corbin is 1-2 through 20 innings this season with a 6.30 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP.
