Rays bats can't pick up strong Cobb start

Rays starter Alex Cobb fell behind Barney 1-0 with one out in the eighth. Barney then re-routed a 90 mph fastball 401 feet into the left-field stands. According to Statcast™, the barrelled ball had a 29 degree launch with a 100.8-mph exit velocity.

Cobb put forth his best start since coming back from Tommy John surgery at the end of the 2016 season, but came away with his third loss of the season.

Corey Dickerson's third-inning single off Joe Biagini drove home the game's first run, putting the Rays ahead.
