Diamondbacks starting pitcher Patrick Corbin had been trying to push his record to 10-0 for five straight starts entering Tuesday's game, before the Mets dashed his hopes for good.
Corbin struggled mightily with the Mets, as he gave up four extra-base hits among his six hits allowed, including a fifth-inning home run by Anthony Recker. The Mets tagged Corbin for five earned runs in six innings on six hits and a walk. Corbin struck out four batters while throwing just 81 pitches, hit lowest total in four starts.
Corbin dropped his first decision in 17 starts, as he fell to 9-1 on the season. He remains the National League's leader in winning percentage, while also ranking seventh in ERA at 2.49. He has not won in his last six starts, though he has a solid 2.85 ERA in that span.
Corbin will try to get back on track Sunday against the Rockies.
