Patrick Corbin pitched three-hit ball for seven innings in the Diamondbacks' 2-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday.
Corbin walked a season-high five batters tonight, but it didn't hurt him as he limited Atlanta's lineup to a double and two singles. He's gone eight straight starts this year without allowing more than two runs. If not for two J.J. Putz blown saves, he'd be 8-0 at the moment. May 15 - 12:41 AM

Patrick Corbin improved to 5-0 by allowing one run in 6 1/3 innings Thursday in a 2-1 win over the Phillies.

Corbin limited the Phillies to just four hits (all singles) and two walks (one intentional) while striking out four. He also hit a batter. The lone run scored on a fielder's choice after Corbin was replaced by Matt Reynolds in the seventh inning. One of the biggest surprises of the early part of the season, Corbin has gone at least six innings in all seven of his starts this season and has allowed two runs or less in each of them. He'll carry a 1.75 ERA into a start against the Braves next week.
May 10 - 12:41 AM

Patrick Corbin limited the Padres to one run in seven innings and struck out seven in Arizona's 8-1 victory Saturday.

Corbin improved to 4-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.80. The Diamondbacks have won all six of his starts. There's still nothing really that stands out about his arsenal, but as he's hitting his spots with his low-90s fastball and mixing in a pretty good slider. It's been plenty good enough so far.
May 5 - 12:45 AM

Patrick Corbin allowed two runs on nine hits over 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

It was Corbin's fifth straight quality start. It remains doubtful that he can maintain this pace, but there's no denying Corbin's impressive first month of the season. He's yet to lose a game and ranks seventh in the National League with a 1.91 ERA.
Apr 28 - 7:28 PM

Patrick Corbin surrendered two runs in 7 1/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Giants.

Corbin took a shutout into the eighth before retiring just one of the four batters he faced that inning. Up until that point, he had allowed three hits, walked none and struck out seven. We're still rather skeptical about the left-hander, but there's no denying that he's been one of the NL's best pitchers so far.
Apr 24 - 2:00 AM

Patrick Corbin was superb Thursday but watched his bullpen blow his win, as he held the Yankees to one run while striking out seven over seven frames in a 6-2 extra innings victory.

Corbin issued three free passes, but he allowed just two base hits, one of which that was a Robinson Cano home run. Even against a depleted Yankees’ lineup, it was quite a performance from the left-hander in a tough environment. Corbin has made manager Kirk Gibson look smart to this point for naming him the fifth starter, as he boasts a 1.42 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through three outings. He’ll try to keep it going next week in San Francisco.
Apr 18 - 11:30 PM

Patrick Corbin pitched three-hit ball for six innings and combined with three relievers on a shutout of the Dodgers on Friday.

Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and J.J. Putz finished the 3-0 game. Corbin, who beat out Randall Delgado and Tyler Skaggs for a rotation spot this spring, is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA. His long-term upside is pretty limited, but NL-only leaguers should enjoy the ride.
Apr 13 - 1:07 AM

Patrick Corbin held the Brewers to two earned runs in six innings Saturday night in a 9-2 Diamondbacks win.

Corbin gave up eight hits and issued one walk, but he operated fairly smoothly in situations that required damage control. The 23-year-old left-hander will face the Dodgers next. He's not a great fantasy option.
Apr 6 - 11:24 PM

Patrick Corbin has earned the final spot in the Diamondbacks' starting rotation.

Corbin posted a 4.54 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86/25 K/BB ratio in 107 innings last season for the Snakes. The 23-year-old is doubtful to hold mixed league fantasy value.
Mar 30 - 6:50 PM

Patrick Corbin was very impressive in his latest audition for a rotation spot, tossing six shutout innings against the Reds on Friday.

Corbin limited the Reds to two hits and two walks while fanning seven. He'll finish the spring with an impressive 2.81 ERA and 26/9 K/BB ratio in 25 2/3 innings. Randall Delgado is still in the mix for the final spot in the rotation, but Corbin has set the bar pretty high.
Mar 30 - 12:20 AM

Patrick Corbin delivered a solid performance in Friday’s victory over the Indians, allowing two runs on three hits over five innings.

Corbin punched out four while issuing three free passes on the night. All of the damage against him came on a two-run single by Michael Brantley in the third inning. He’s likely to open the season as the fifth starter in the Diamondbacks rotation, and has looked good with a 19/7 K/BB ratio over 19 2/3 innings this spring.
Mar 23 - 1:21 AM

Patrick Corbin held the Mariners to one run in four innings Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' 5-4 victory.

Corbin yielded four hits, but he struck out one and did not issue a walk. The 23-year-old lefty remains in the running for the final spot in the Arizona rotation.
Mar 12 - 7:10 PM

Patrick Corbin was knocked around for four runs on three hits and a walk over one inning in Wednesday's loss to the Royals.

The left-hander issued a free pass to start off the inning, and then two singles preceded an Alex Gordon grand slam. Corbin was looking like the favorite for the Diamondbacks' fifth starter spot after being lights-out in his first two spring appearances, but this showing might knock him back to among the pack.
Mar 6 - 7:20 PM

Patrick Corbin spun three scoreless frames in Friday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Corbin allowed three hits while walking one and fanning four. The 24-year-old southpaw now has eight strikeouts and two walks over five scoreless innings of work this spring. Randall Delgado and Tyler Skaggs haven't been overly impressive so far, so Corbin could be emerging as the early favorite for the fifth spot in Arizona's starting rotation.
Mar 1 - 7:19 PM

Patrick Corbin was fantastic in a no-decision against the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing just one run on six hits over seven frames.

Corbin punched out six and walked one. The only real blemish against him came when Andrew Brown scored on a double play ball in the second inning. The Arizona left-hander finishes the 2012 season with a 6-8 record, 4.46 ERA and 86/25 K/BB ratio over 107 innings of work.
