WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrick Corbin gained consecutive begins for the primary time since final summer season and Lane Thomas had a go-ahead, two-run single within the fifth inning that led the Washington Nationals over the Detroit Tigers 5-2 Saturday and stopped a four-game shedding streak.
Corbin (3-5) allowed two runs and 6 hits in six innings towards the Tigers, the one massive league staff he had by no means confronted. He struck out three, reaching 1,500 in his profession when he fanned Jonathan Scoop within the sixth.
Coming off a win over the New York Mets, Corbin gained consecutive begins for the primary time since beating Cincinnati on Aug. 28 and the Mets on Sept. 3.
Carl Edwards Jr., Hunter Harvey and Kyle Finnegan completed with hitless reduction, with Finnegan getting his ninth save in 11 probabilities to complete a sport that took 2 hours, 3 minutes.
Jeimer Candelario homered and hit a run-scoring double for Washington, which fell behind when Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run homer within the first.
Alex Faedo (0-2) gave up three runs and 5 hits in 5 innings. Detroit had gained three of 4.
After Candelario’s fourth-inning homer, Thomas’ single previous diving shortstop Javier Báez gave the Nationals a 3-2 lead within the fifth. Thomas had three hits and has reached base in 17 straight video games.
Keibert Ruiz added an RBI single within the sixth and Candelario doubled within the eighth.
