Cobb cruises with help from pair of homers

Luis Valbuena, who entered Saturday batting .181, supplied all three of the Angels' runs with his seventh and eighth home runs of the season. Valbuena's first homer put the Angels on the board in the seventh, and his second trimmed the Rays' lead to 6-3 in the ninth.

Tampa Bay's offensive production proved to be more than enough for right-hander Alex Cobb, who allowed one run on six hits while walking three and striking out four over 7 2/3 innings. Cobb opened the game with six shutout innings before Valbuena delivered his first homer of the night.
