Moments earlier, the Washington Nationals left-hander’s 107th pitch became one of his few mistakes. Instead, the Nationals settled for a 4-2 win Thursday afternoon as Corbin deftly mixed his pitches and carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning. “He gets ahead of hitters [and] makes that slider that much better.”The second time through the order, Corbin zagged. Three of the first four Giants hitters to face Corbin a second time ended at-bats frozen as a sinker zoomed by for strike three. In the fifth, Washington loaded the bases with one out and only came away with one run, on a bases-loaded walk by Gomes.
