NEW YORK (AP) — This is what the Baltimore Orioles were counting on when they added Alex Cobb.
Cobb delivered his best performance since signing a rich contract late in spring training, helping the Orioles break a seven-game losing streak by beating the New York Mets 2-1 Tuesday night.
“That was fun,” manager Buck Showalter said. “Been waiting for that one.”
The Orioles ended a skid that matched their longest of the season and posted their first win at Citi Field. Baltimore hadn’t topped the Mets on the road since 2006 at Shea Stadium.
The Mets lost their fifth in a row.
