The lefty is 7-0 with 2 no decisions, and the Diamondbacks are 9-0 in games he has started. In his 9 starts, he has allowed 2 runs twice, 1 run four times and 0 runs twice. With all the talk about young pitchers such as Matt Harvey and Shelby Miller, Corbin has been able to fly under the radar and continues to shut down each lineup he faces.On Monday night he went up against a tough Rockies offense and was brilliant. Corbin threw a complete game, the first of his career, allowing just 3 hits, a walk, 1 run and struck out 10 in a 5-1 Diamondbacks victory. Every position player in the Diamondbacks offense had a hit, and the team combined for 16 hits, including 3 a piece from Didi Gregorius, Eric Chavez and A.J. Pollock. All of the damage came off losing pitcher Jon Garland who allowed 11 hits and 5 runs in 6 innings of...

Corbin (7-0) joined Randy Johnson as the only lefties in team history to begin the season 7-0. He also turned in his club-record ninth straight start in which he's pitched at least six innings and allowed two runs or fewer. Mixing an effective slider with a sneaky fastball, Corbin kept the Rockies hitters guessing all night. He held Colorado hitless until Troy Tulowitzki's single up the middle in the fourth and didn't allow another hit until Nolan Arenado's double in the eighth. Pinch hitter Jordan Pacheco broke up Corbin's shutout bid with a double that brought home Arenado. Every position player had at least one hit for the Diamondbacks, who have won four of five.

There was no other player who could win the inaugural Hard Hittin’ Mark Whiten Memorial award. We won’t do an honorable mention today partly because we’re at work, and partly because Bear Jew really did that good of a job steamrolling the rest of the field. For the week that was, Paul Goldschmidt did this: .480 (12 for 25), no walks (but still good for a .480 on-base %), 3 home runs, 5 RBI The weeks all blend together, but the week before he hit a couple of game-winning jacks out in LA (off League, Kershaw, Jansen) to get his team going. He’s had a monster couple of weeks. He is a Bear Jew gone mad. He’s going to have a season like Joey Votto did in 2010 when he won the MVP. He is the first winner of the HHMWMPOTW Award. Yea, that’s not going to work abbreviating that.

Struggling for their Triple-A Reno minor league farm club, a change of scenery could help.

Check out Miguel who dove after a popup and juggled it up in the air setting up his teammate Collmenter for a nice alley-oop grab. Everything went according to plan.

We here at Outside the Boxscore have it for you to view over and over again. It happened during the Arizona Diamondbacks/Miami Marlins game as a bunt by Marlins infielder Adeiny Hechavarria got popped into the air and Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero appeared ready to make the play. As he went to snag it, the ball bounced off of Montero's glove but somehow bounced into the hands of pitcher Josh Collmenter to record the out: Your browser does not support iframes.

The Arizona catcher Montero bobbled the pop-up bunt and deflected it into bare hand of relief pitcher Collmentor for an assist and the rare 2-1 put-out. The D'backs juggling act still couldn't top that three-ring circus from Miami and Arizona lost, 2-1. Your browser does not support iframes.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero and pitcher Josh Collmenter combined for an impressive circus catch on a popup in the eighth inning of Sunday night's game at Marlin Park. Miami Marlins batter Adeiny Hechavarria tried to bunt the ball, but popped it up down the third base line. Montero chased it and failed to catch it, but was able to knock the ball up to Collmenter. Collmenter knocked it even higher in the air to himself while avoiding Montero before catching it with his bare right hand. Video via MLB.

So how does a pitcher record a 2-1 putout on a ball that never touches the ground? Diamondbacks reliever Josh Collmenter did just that in Sunday's game against the Marlins -- with an assist (literally) from catcher Miguel Montero following a phenomenal effort on a bunt by Adeinny Hechavarria. After Montero dived and popped the ball up into the air just before it hit the ground, Collmenter tried to barehand it, juggled it -- while leaping over the sliding Montero -- and then pulled it with his bare hand on the second try.

Marlins starter Kevin Slowey allowed six runs and seven hits in three innings. Saturday night Diamondbacks 1, Marlins 0: The Marlins managed just three hits off Arizonas Brandon McCarthy, who earned his third career shutout. Gerardo Parra homered on the games first pitch from Miamis Tom Keohler. Sunday Marlins 2, Diamondbacks 1: Ricky Nolasco allowed one run and five hits in eight-plus innings. He fanned a season-high 11, twice striking out the side. Marcell Ozuna supplied the runs with a two-out, two-run double in the sixth off Arizona starter Wade Miley. Summary The Marlins got two well-pitched games but had to settle for winning once in the three-game set. Keohler surrendered one run and three hits in six innings on Saturday night, when Ryan Webb (1.1 ), Mike Dunn (.2 inn.) and Steve Cishek (1) combined for three scoreless innings in relief.

The one run came courtesy of a solo home run by Gerardo Parra in the first inning. What does that have to do with Pete Rose? Well, the home run--and only run--came on the first pitch of the game. The last time that happened was back on September 2, 1963, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 1-0.  The hitter that day--none other than Pete Rose (no word on whether Rose made an incredible play like Parra did to help preserve the lead)!

Bradley worked 6 innings, giving up no runs on 2 hits with 9 strikeouts, adding continued success to a blistering month of May. Bradley delivered another strong outing  leading Mobile to a 4-1 win over Pensacola in Southern league action. In his fourth Southern League start, Bradley  limited the Wahoos to one run on five hits and two walks in six innings. In 19 innings this season for the BayBears, Bradley has given up two runs on 12 hits and eight walks and struck, with an ERA of .90 Bradley, following a workhorse 2012 season with Low Class A South Bend where he posted a 12-6 record with a 152/84 strikeout to walk ration in 136.0 innings, has been a top pitching prospect since his professional debut with Rookie Class Missoula in 2011.

Over the past three seasons, while playing mostly in a part-time role in Arizona's crowded outfield, Parra has totaled nine, 12 and eight assists, with the middle number coming in 2011, when he earned his first Gold Glove.

Logic points to Miami, the biggest variable, as the cause of the blip on the resume that last year became. Bell, however, will not point. He has taken the high road since leaving, even in the days before the Diamondbacks' trip. He has done no Marlin-bashing after escaping via the three-team trade last winter, even though it is obvious in hindsight that then-Miami manager Ozzie Guillen never had the same faith in Bell that ownership showed when he was signed to a three-year, 27 million free-agent deal after seasons of 42, 47 and 43 saves in San Diego from 2009-11. The lack of trust hurt as much as the lack of success (4-5, 5.09 ERA, 19 saves in 27 chances) -- probably more. But Bell has moved on, even as he is sure that some in Miami have not.

It's nothing new; it just happens. This year, the Diamondbacks are one of those teams, having at different times been without their starting second baseman, closer, each of their projected starting outfielders and multiple infielders. Despite the injuries, the D-backs have remained competitive, sitting just half a game out of first place in the NL West after a win Wednesday. Through the aches and pains, they have turned to a mantra manager Kirk Gibson has popularized the past couple seasons: Deal with it. "I think every team has to do that," Gibson said. "We prepare for that in spring training. We talked about it in case things happened." Things did happen. From Cody Ross (calf), Willie Bloomquist (oblique) and Adam Eaton (elbow) going down in spring training to Jason Kubel (quadriceps), Aaron Hill (hand) and J.J.
