Dubón and Albies hit 3-run homers as Braves beat Blue Jays 7-3 for 12th straight win against Corbin
Mauricio Dubón hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the third inning and the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 to continue their mastery of left-hander Patrick Corbin
ATLANTA (AP) — Mauricio Dubón hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the third inning and the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 on Wednesday night to continue their mastery of left-hander Patrick Corbin.
A homer by Nathan Lukes off Grant Holmes (4-2) in the third inning gave Toronto a 2-1 lead. The Braves answered off Corbin (2-2) in the bottom of the inning. With two outs, Matt Olson singled and moved to third on Ozzie Albies' double. Dubón's homer into the Braves' bullpen behind the center-field wall gave Atlanta a 4-2 lead.
Olson, who hit a tie-breaking homer in Atlanta's 4-3 win over Toronto on Tuesday night, had three hits. Olson singled and scored on Albies' three-run homer off left-hander Adam Macko in the seventh to extend the lead to five runs.
Toronto catcher Brandon Valenzuela hit a homer off Tyler Kinley in the ninth.
Corbin gave up four runs on six hits and two walks in five innings for his 12th consecutive loss to the Braves. The last pitcher in the majors to lose 12 consecutive decisions to one team was Mark Buehrle, who lost 12 straight to the New York Yankees from 2004-14 with the White Sox, Miami and Toronto.
Corbin is 6-13 against Atlanta for his career. The streak of losing 12 straight decisions over 13 starts began on Sept. 6, 2019, with Washington.
