Corbin (9-11) earned the win Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin struggled with his command early on, surrendering a solo home run to Aaron Judge on a hanging four-seamer in the first inning and then allowing a two-run shot to Gleyber Torres in the third. However, the lefty was able to recover after that, making it through six frames for the third time in his last four starts while fanning seven -- his second-highest strikeout total of the season. Corbin has now won his last three decisions and currently holds a 2.70 ERA through four August starts.

Corbin (8-11) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on four hits over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was mostly dominant over his six innings of work, with his one big mistake coming in the top of the third when he delivered a hanging four-seamer to Triston Casas, which the first baseman launched into the stands in center field. However, the lefty made up for that mistake by retiring 13 of the next 14 batters he faced in the contest to seal up his eighth win of the season. Corbin has now allowed three or fewer runs and no more than four hits in each of his last three starts, lowering his season ERA to 4.71. He's also won four of his last six decisions (spanning nine starts).

Corbin did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one unearned run on one hit and seven walks over five innings against Philadelphia. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin turned in quite the interesting statline Thursday, allowing one hit -- a double -- through five scoreless innings on the mound, but he issued a season-high seven walks, throwing just 44 of 87 pitches for strikes. The 34-year-old lefty started the sixth inning, but he was removed after committing an error, and Nationals reliever Andres Machado immediately served up a two-run homer to Trea Turner, accounting for Corbin's sole run, albeit unearned. In five outings since the All-Star break, Corbin has a 4.71 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB across 28.2 innings during that stretch. He currently lines up to face Boston in his next outing.

Corbin (7-11) picked up the win in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Mets, giving up four runs on six hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty also tossed a wild pitch and hit a batter in a not particularly sharp outing, but the Nationals erupted for eight runs in the first three innings to give Corbin a huge buffer. He's been tagged for four runs or more in four of his last seven starts, stumbling to a 5.66 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through 41.1 innings over that stretch, and he'll take little momentum into his next trip to the mound, which is likely to come next weekend in Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis
Corbin turned in three shutout frames before the Rockies finally broke through with a pair of runs in the fourth. He's given up at least six runs in three of his last six outings, resulting in a 5.55 ERA during that stretch. The veteran southpaw saw his ERA climb back to 5.01 alongside an 85:36 K:BB through 120.1 frames. Corbin is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Mets this weekend.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Most of the damage against Corbin came in the sixth inning, as the lefty allowed a solo homer to Seiya Suzuki and then back-to-back singles to Ian Happ and Cody Bellinger as part of a two-run inning. prior to the sixth frame, however, Corbin was much better and allowed just one baserunner to reach second. Corbin has undergone an up-and-down stretch over the four starts leading up to Tuesday's tilt, allowing one or fewer runs in two starts while giving up six or more in the other pair of appearances.

EDGE Analysis
After taking the loss in five of his last six starts, Corbin picked up a win against one of baseball's top offenses Sunday.

Overall, Corbin owns a 4.89 ERA through 19 starts, a solid improvement from his ugly 6.31 ERA in 2022.
