CHICAGO -- Patrick Corbin is finding ways to pile up victories without his best stuff. Corbin became the major leagues first nine-game winner, labouring through six inning Sunday in the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. Corbin (9-0) allowed four runs and six hits, tying the team record for consecutive wins at the start of the season, set by Brandon Webb in 2008. The Diamondbacks are 11-0 in his starts. "Actually the whole game he didnt have good stuff. His slider wasnt there, his fastball was cutting and we used his changeup more today. But he kept us in the game," said catcher Wil Nieves. For the second straight start Corbin gave up at least four runs after not allowing more than two runs in his previous nine starts. He hit two batters and walked two in a 33-pitch first inning, when he walked Dioner Navarro with the bases loaded. Corbin minimized the damaged by retiring Cody Ransom on an inning-ending flyout to the warning track in centre. "We had a chance that one inning (first) to bust it open, but without the wind blowing in, Ransom probably could have been a grand slam and things change," said Cubs manager Dale Sveum. Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and Heath Bell combined for hitless relief to secure the win for Corbin. "I think I was just rushing with my delivery a little bit, cutting off my fastballs and wasnt really locating too well. That was basically it," Corbin said. Edwin Jackson (1-8) gave up seven runs -- five earned -- a season-high 12 hits, three walks and four wild pitches in 5 2-3 innings. Nieves had three hits and two RBIs for Arizona. Scott Hairston hit his 100th career homer as the Cubs lost their second straight after a season-high five-game winning steak. Arizona loaded the bases in the second when, with two men on, centre fielder Julio Borbon took his eyes off of Corbins routine fly ball to centre and dropped the ball for an error. Gerardo Parra followed with a two-run single, and Jacksons wild pitch allowed Corbin to score for a 3-1 lead. Jacksons RBI single cut the deficit in the fourth, but Nieves two-out RBI single boosted the lead to 4-2 in the fifth. Hairstons fifth homer this season, a two-run drive, tied the score in the bottom half. Corbin stayed in just long enough to get the win. "I thought I would go out back out to pitch in the sixth. I was going out there like I was going to hit. I felt fine. I know the first inning I threw a lot of pitches which got my pitch count up, but after that I think I settled in a little bit," said Corbin. "Im just glad the sixth inning I was able to get out of it and keep the relievers out of that inning." Jackson allowed three straight singles with two outs in the sixth, when Paul Goldschmidt drove in the go-ahead run. After an intentional walk to Jason Kubel loaded the bases, Cody Ross lined a two-run single for a 7-4 lead. "On a day our team did a great job of coming back. They did a great job of battling against one of the best pitchers in the game right now and I did a terrible job of holding that game close enough for us to come back and win it after two quick outs in the sixth inning," said Jackson. Struggling Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol, who was booed, allowed three walks and an RBI single to Nieves in the eighth. NOTES: Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija accused Diamondbacks third base coach Matt Williams of staring him down Saturday night. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was irked. "He didnt get the win did he?" Gibson said. "Maybe next time he should just shut ... up and pitch." ... Marmol has walked six in his last 1 1-3 innings. ... Goldschmidt finished with two hits and three runs.

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. Evergreen Ireland captain Rory Best has been hailed for producing the best rugby of his career ahead of his 100th cap.The 34-year-old hooker might be Irelands elder statesman but continues to scale new heights, according to flanker Josh van der Flier. Ulster stalwart Best should become just Irelands fifth player to win 100 caps in Saturdays Test with Australia at Dublins Aviva Stadium.Best will join Brian ODriscoll, Ronan OGara, Paul OConnell and John Hayes in the century club, amid a ringing endorsement of his enduring qualities.Van der Flier said: Rorys brilliant. He just seems to be getting better and better with age, it doesnt seem to bother him at all. It looks like hes playing the best rugby of his career. Hes a brilliant leader, a great captain; I love playing under him.You can see in the way we play how much he inspires us. Hes an excellent speaker, hes very good at motivating us as players, and the most important thing is that he delivers on the pitch. Thats what counts most, and hes a great leader.Fast-improving Leinster flanker van der Flier demonstratted his Test suitability with another potent display despite Irelands 21-9 defeat to New Zealand on Saturday.dddddddddddd The 23-year-old back-rower slotted in after CJ Stander suffered a head injury, and stood out for his aggressive line-breaking abilities.The four-cap loose forward will be in the frame to start against Australia on Saturday, and expects another canny build-up from captain Best. Best has at times been seen to step back and allow fellow senior stars to produce telling team-talks, to mix up his captaincy approach around his own tub-thumping rhetoric.Van der Flier admitted that flexibility is greatly appreciated among Joe Schmidts Test squad.Sometimes as a captain other senior players will do all the talking and all Rory needs to say is thats it lads, lets go, said Van der Flier. Sometimes its that but also at other times well need a good talking-to. Hes very good at reading the situation, hes a good leader in that way.
