The Baltimore Orioles lost to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night by a score of 3-2. Alex Cobb pitched well in an injury shortened appearance, and Jonathan Villar provided the Orioles only offense, hitting a solo homer in the 6th and an RBI single in the 8th.
More concerning than the Orioles losing their 103rd game of the season was Alex Cobb re-aggravating the blister, or what he has described as a cut, on his pitching hand and leaving the game after just two innings.
This injury with Cobb is disappointing because he’s pitched so well during the second half of the season, but if the issue is allowed to linger it could become a major problem for the Orioles.
