Strikeout #5

 

[death2redemptions]

I've noticed the velocity of Corbin's fastball has been up too

 

[death2redemptions]

And another strikeout via the slider!

Corbin - 3 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, 6 K

 

[death2redemptions]

This could be the year Corbin finally puts it all together and becomes a frontline starter. His slider has been filthy, the velocity of his fastball has been hitting 94-95 & his command has looked spot-on.

 

[death2redemptions]

And now Corbin hits a leadoff double! Third straight inning with leadoff doubles.

 

[death2redemptions]

3-0 DBacks

 

[death2redemptions]

Strikeout #7

 

[death2redemptions]

Corbin - 4 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, 7 K

Don't say it...

 

[death2redemptions]

Strikeout #8

Another killer slider, impossible to hit.

 

[death2redemptions]

Kemp puts an end to the perfect game & no-hitter with a bloop double.

 

[death2redemptions]

Corbin - 5 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 8 K

 

[death2redemptions]

Strikeout #9 (from the slider, of course)

 

[death2redemptions]

Corbin - 6 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 9 K

The velocity on his fastball has dropped a tick the last couple innings and he's not hitting his spots quiet as effectively as he was the first four innings but overall he still looks excellent on the mound. 17 strikeouts to just 1 walk on the season.

 

[death2redemptions]

At the moment Corbin has a 1.59 ERA/2.57 FIP/1.15 xFIP line on the season.

 

[death2redemptions]

Corbin final line - 7.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 12 K

Probably the best game of his career. 12 k's is a career high.

 

[death2redemptions]

One more inning!

 

[death2redemptions]

2 outs left to go...

 

[death2redemptions]

One left to go...

 

[death2redemptions]

Ah c'mon Boxberger, don't blow it

 

[death2redemptions]

And the D-Backs are still the best of the west!!!

5-1 record to begin the season
