Blue Jays’ Patrick Corbin strikes out nine in Dunedin start

Blue Jays veteran Patrick Corbin struck out nine batters in his first appearance with the low-A Dunedin club following his recent one-year deal.

Corbin worked five innings of one-run ball against the Bradenton Marauders. The lone run was unearned due to an outfielder error, as he allowed just four hits and one walk while throwing 74 pitches.

The 36-year-old southpaw utilized his slider to generate seven swings-and-misses. With the Blue Jays managing rotation injuries to players like José Berríos and Shane Bieber, Corbin is considered a potential short-term solution.
