Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin got beat by the longball in Saturday's start against the Mets. Corbin allowed four runs on four hits over five innings, with all four runs coming by way of the home run. Corbin was left with the loss, as the Mets won by a score of 4-2.
Corbin (1-1) got off to a blazing start on Saturday, as the D-Backs handed him an early 2-0 lead. After allowing a two-out single in the first inning, Corbin retired the next 10 batters he faced. But that was until Lucas Duda crushed a solo home run in the fourth inning.
Corbin then allowed a two-run shot to the opposing pitcher Matt Harvey to give the Mets a 3-2 lead. In the next inning, Corbin, seemingly tired, left another pitch up in the zone for Ruben Tejada to drive over the left-field wall.
This was Corbin's second start since returning from Tommy John surgery, and he'll enter the All-Star break with a 5.40 ERA.
"Everything felt good," Corbin said, per MLB.com. "I felt like I got a little bit better from the last time. The slider today felt really good. The changeup, as well."
