Corbin gets 9th win


Patrick Corbin picked up his ninth win of the season today as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cubs in Chicago, 8-4. Corbin's win moves him to a perfect  9-0 as he becomes only the second pitcher in franchise history to accomplish the feat. Brandon Webb won his first nine games without a loss back in 2008.

Wil Nievas goes 3 for 5 and drives in two runs to lead the Diamondbacks over the Cubs. Paul Goldschmidt continues his hot hitting with two more hits, scoring three times while knocking in a run, his 46th run batted in of the season.

Corbin, the first pitcher in the major leagues to reach nine wins this year,  goes just six innings today, allowing four runs and six hits. He walked two and struck out five.

And now it's on to St. Louis as the Diamondbacks (32-24) open up a four-game series was the Cardinals on Monday night. The Cardinals (37-19) sport the best record in baseball, despite their 4-2 loss to San Francisco today.
