Washington Nationals
Patrick Corbin got clobbered once again in Saturday evening’s loss in Philadelphia.
Corbin lasted just two-thirds of an inning and gave up five hits and six earned runs. For a league-leading 16th time this season, he got hit with the loss.
Washington will send Cory Abbott to the hill on Sunday. The right-hander and former second round pick of the Cubs in 2017 has some nice stats this season in nine innings pitched, including one start and three games finished.
He’s given up four hits, one run (a solo homer to Seattle’s Cal Raleigh), and three walks, while striking out nine.
Of course, even if Abbott is better than Corbin was on Saturday, the Nationals will still be hard-pressed to win this game against Philadelphia ace Aaron Nola.
Philadelphia Phillies
Nola hasn’t been an All-Star since 2018 but he’s been excellent all along the way and this season has been no exception.
Despite a 7–8 record, Nola has leads the league with just 1.2 walks per nine innings and has just about 10 strikeouts per nine.
His ERA+ of 126 is much more than solid and he has an outside shot at throwing 200 innings for the first time since 2019, though he will likely come up short.
That’s okay because Philadelphia has plans to unleash him in the postseason this year for the first time in his career.
The Phillies entered Saturday tied with St. Louis and Milwaukee (who share the NL Central Division lead) for the final playoff spot in the National League.
But Baseball-Reference.com gives the Phillies better than an 80 percent chance to make the postseason this year for the first time since 2011.
A win on Sunday would complete the sweep and make it five in a row for the Fighting Phillies.
