ST. PETERSBURG -- Sunday proved to be bittersweet for Alex Cobb.
The Rays right-hander had his best start since undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery in 2015, but he came away with a defeat in a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, earning him the distinction of being the first Rays pitcher to take the loss in a start of eight innings pitched or more and two runs (or fewer) since
Cobb agreed that Sunday ranked as his best start since his surgery.
"Yeah, I think that the angle that I'm trying to get on the pitches was there," Cobb said.
