Patrick Corbin was dialed in. Corbins slider was sharp.

He had great success with his slider 19 swings at his slider, 13 of which were swings and misses, and got seven of his eight strikeouts with it.

Corbin was lights-out, putting up four shutdown innings. He finished 6 ⅔ innings with five hits, two runs, one walk and eight strikeouts (one shy of his season high).

CJ Abrams hits 2 HR

Abrams came back to hit his 18th homer in the seventh, a solo shot off a low fastball that traveled 383 feet just over the wall in right field. It gave the 22-year-old his first multi-homer game of his  career.

Smith also homers and helps lift the Nats over the Pirates.
