Patrick Corbin Strikes Out Eight, Nats Top Marlins 6-2

Patrick Corbin delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a slight breath of fresh air for Corbin, whose season has been marred by a bloated 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 28 starts. Despite the high strikeout count in this game, his season-long K/9 remains a modest 7.1, indicating that such performances are more the exception than the norm. The high BABIP (.342) suggests some bad luck, but it doesn't fully excuse the overall poor results. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as Corbin's inconsistent season and high ERA offer limited appeal outside of deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups.
