reached base safely good all-around player showing his tools off and he's on the move and he's out the wi of the pitch breaking ball chopped on the ground to third Norby backs up on it at one foot on the turf long throw on one hop can't be handled at first and bounces over toward the stands and chaparo is on his way to Second three balls and two strikes and a swinging a Miss struck him out the inning is over they have a chance to start this series against the Marlins with a guy on the mound who's suddenly pitching pretty great right now Patrick Corbin has won his last two starts and his last one was special against a really good Yankees team Corbin gets a call Edwards rung up Conor Norby wraps this one into left field a base hit down in front of wood and a knock for Norby he's trying to get those ground balls he's trying to roll those double plays Burger can stay out of one right here one for eight in the series against San Francisco Runner goes as this bat is shattered Garcia applies the tag and then makes the play at first yeah watch the heads up play right here great job by him it's not a normal play out of the ordinary right there that he made face the cleanup man Jonah bride here in the second who swings at the first offering and will be retired by C J Abrams here is a softly hit line drive into center field and a one- out base hit for Jesu Sanchez gets it check swing and Lopez went too far Corbin second strike out 1-1 the runner takes off here's a throw down to second base diving into second as Sanchez a little slow to get up so he'll stay put getting attention again at second base it was on a slide attempt the other day that he was a little slow to get up and looks like he's going to come out of the game inside it's ball for got him Corbin goes back to the slider gets a big strike out of Stowers standard midafternoon shower as Kar Ruiz lines one Fair inside the bag at first get deep into the corner K's going to think about it and then shut
