Patrick Corbin records his 100th win and strikes out eight batters over six strong innings against the Rockies
Washington, DC - With six innings of one-run ball and a season-high eight strikeouts, Corbin never let the Rockies get anything going at the plate. And thanks to some long-awaited run support from his teammates, he and the Nats cruised to an 8-3 victory in their series finale against Colorado.
This was the third start of the season with at least 6.0 innings pitched and two or fewer earned runs allowed... Of his 100 career wins 12 have ben against the Colorado Rockies. This win was Corbin's 100th win of his career, making him the eighth player to earn his 100th win as a Washington Nationals. Corbin recorded a season-high of eight strikeouts throughout his six innings of work.
Patrick Corbin - Corbin needed only three victories to get to the 100th win, when the season started. And even if the Nationals’ intention was to move the long-struggling veteran to the bullpen once Cade Cavalli or Josiah Gray was healthy, he surely would’ve achieved the milestone by then. Today he reached the third win (on the season), and the 100th Milestone WIN. One strong outing isn’t about to erase Corbin’s entire 2024 season. He’s still 3-12 with a 5.63 ERA, in line to lead the league in losses for the fourth straight year .
But for this one afternoon, he was on top of his game and was properly rewarded for it.
