The All-Star break could hardly come at a better time for the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers will try to clinch the three-game series by winning the rubber match against the host Washington Nationals on Sunday to end a stretch of 17 games in as many days.
The right-hander is coming off one of his best starts of the season. He held the host Boston Red Sox to one run on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk over six innings in a 6-2 win on Tuesday. "He's just a complete pitcher, moves the ball around, changes speeds, keeps the ball on the ground a lot. He's got good poise out there. I don't know what else we say, I'm kind of out of superlatives to give this kid. That's how good he's been."
Corbin hasn't faced the Rangers in nearly five years, when he played for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings with seven strikeouts in a 6-4 victory on Aug. 14, 2018.
