He gave up just two hits, striking out seven and walking one. Corbin was outstanding outside of a two-run mistake Giancarlo Stanton deposited into the left-field seats in the seventh. Corbin remains a perfect 9-0, to go with an outstanding 2.28 ERA and 1.01 WHIP, but Monday marked the first time Arizona has lost one of his starts. The Snakes are now 13-1 with Corbin on the mound in 2013. Jun 18 - 12:51 AM

Patrick Corbin was removed after allowing four runs in five innings Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Corbin was in line for his first loss when he exited, but the Diamondbacks rallied and ended up winning in 12. It's the second straight outing in which he's left with the Diamondbacks in a hole. However, Arizona remains a perfect 13-0 with him on the mound.
Jun 13 - 2:43 AM

Patrick Corbin narrowly avoided his first loss Friday after allowing one run in 7 1/3 innings against the Giants.

Corbin was great, but Matt Cain was better for seven innings and Corbin left down 1-0. Fortunately, a Paul Goldschmidt three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth turned things around, so the Diamondbacks are still a perfect 12-for-12 with Corbin on the mound this year.
Jun 8 - 12:57 AM

Patrick Corbin wasn't great Sunday but moved to 9-0 anyway, allowing four runs over six innings in an 8-4 win over the Cubs.

The left-hander surrendered six hits, walked two and struck out five. After not allowing more than two runs in his first nine starts this season, Corbin has now given up eight runs -- seven earned -- over the last two outings. However, he hardly pitched poorly in either start, and he still boasts a pristine 2.06 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He'll get the Giants next.
Jun 2 - 6:01 PM

Patrick Corbin gave up three earned runs on seven hits over six innings in Sunday's win over the Padres.

It was another solid outing from Corbin, who is coming off a complete game three-hitter at Coors Field. He improved to 8-0 with a 1.71 ERA this season. Corbin had gone at least six innings and allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last nine starts. He finished with two walks, five strikeouts, and surrendered a two-run shot to Carlos Quentin. Corbin will have a strong chance to remain undefeated in his next start Sunday against the Cubs.
May 26 - 7:29 PM

Patrick Corbin moved to 7-0 by pitching a three-hitter and striking out 10 as the Diamondbacks topped the Rockies 5-1 on Monday.

Corbin's April could have been written off as something of a fluke after he went 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA. However, he's now 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA in May. It's a pretty amazing transformation for a guy who went 6-8 with a 4.54 ERA and 14 homers allowed in 107 innings last year.
May 21 - 12:03 AM

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.
