Leading this Morning's Briefing: Nationals kick off a six-game homestand tonight.

LHP Patrick Corbin went 5.1 innings, giving up only one run on four hits, striking out four, and walking two. Corbin faced 22 batters and threw 94 pitches, 58 being strikes. The Nationals couldn’t provide Corbin with any run support and lost 7-2. [Click here for the Game Recap]
