Patrick Corbin of the Nationals appeared to pitch five strong innings against the Phillies, as he allowed one hit and one unearned run. A closer look at the box, however, showed that he walked seven batters, many on full counts. It’s possible that Corbin came up with the idea to walk the tough hitters to prevent hits. He walked Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto twice, Alec Bohm, Weston Wilson, and Bryce Harper once .

The Phillies lead 2-1 as Trea Turner homered right after Corbin was removed.
