Nationals vs Pirates, Game 2

[Dave in Fairfax]

I'm not sure Corbin had a better regular season game with the Nats than today.

He pitched a complete game shutout of the Marlins on May 25, 2019. He also had an 8-inning, 1-run, 11 K game against the Mets on May 15. So this is up there with some of his first starts with the club.

Thanks for the generosity, ump, on the game ending k.

Rainey walked the tying run to the plate in the final inning?

Six out of eight.

Nice win... perhaps the Nats and the Corbinator are finally turning the corner?

Well I have to give credit to Corbin. He was pretty damn good tonight. Couple more outings like this and maybe you can get some team to give you something for him and get out of this contract…probably not

29 down, 34 to go... 

Good times, at the moment, but lots more needed - see above (and still on course for 100 games...).

Soft schedule but nice 6 of 8 run for the Nationals.

As someone who doesn't believe tanking is worth it in baseball, I'm pleased with a week of fun baseball.
