PHOENIX (AP) — Patrick Corbin got into a rhythm with catcher Alex Avila, leaving
Philadelphia’s hitters flailing.The Arizona Diamondbacks have hit their stride
at just the right time, leaving the desert with the NL West lead before heading
out on a nine-game road trip.Corbin struck out nine in a combined
four-hitter [url=http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-blake-treinen-jersey]Blake
Treinen Jersey[/url] , David Peralta had four hits and two RBIs, and the
Diamondbacks rolled over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Wednesday.Corbin
(10-4) had the Phillies guessing most of the game, allowing four hits in 7 1/3
innings while reaching a career-high 183 strikeouts this season. The left-hander
did not give up a home run for the ninth straight start, the longest stretch by
a Diamondbacks pitcher since Brandon Webb in 2003.“I felt really good with
everything,” Corbin said. “I made some quality pitches early on, working really
well with Alex.”Peralta hit a two-run triple off Vince Velasquez (8-9) in the
third inning, sending the Phillies right-hander to his first loss since June 25
against the New York Yankees.Peralta had his fourth four-hit game of the home
stand and tied the franchise record with 10 hits in the three-game series
against the Phillies. He is 18 for 31 since taking two days off with shoulder
tightness last week.Eduardo Escobar added three RBIs for the NL West-leading
Diamondbacks, who play three sub-.500 teams over the next nine games.“It is
moving month,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “August

through right now.”Velasquez allowed two or fewer runs in his six starts heading
into Wednesday’s game, with a 0.95 ERA in four July starts. The right-hander
allowed two hits in 6 1/3 scoreless innings to beat the Miami Marlins in his
previous start.The Diamondbacks eclipsed the two-run barrier against Velasquez
in the third inning, going up 3-0 on Peralta’s two-run triple and Escobar’s
sacrifice fly.Arizona added a run in the fourth inning on Jon Jay’s double play.
Velasquez did not come out for the fifth after allowing four runs and six
hits.“Just a terrible display of executing my secondary pitches today,”
Velasquez said.Pinch hitter Roman Quinn hit a one-out double off Corbin in the
sixth inning, the only Phillies player to reach second base against the Arizona
left-hander. Corbin faced two batters over the minimum.“Very simply, we just
weren’t able to get anything doing against Corbin,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler
said. “He did a great job of mixing his pitches. He was in the zone. He did a
great job.”ARIZONA’S STARTERSCorbin isn’t the only Diamondbacks starter pitching
well at the right time of the season.Arizona’s starters posted a 1.27 ERA with
20 strikeouts and a .176 batting average against in the three games against the
Phillies. The Diamondbacks’ staff has allowed three or fewer runs in six
