The San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers tonight 2-1.
It was easily Alex Cobb’s best start of the season, in which he allowed only an unearned run on four hits with five strikeouts and no walks in seven and a third innings, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd when he exited in the eighth.
It was a pitchers’ duel all around, with the first run from either team not arriving until the sixth inning. Brewers’ starter Eric Lauer allowed one run on two hits, with four strikeouts and three walks in seven innings.
