Alex Cobb pitched like vintage Alex Cobb today. Controlled, steady and consistent, Cobb went 8 full frames on the day, giving up just 4 hits, 2 walks and a pair of runs.
Tampa Bay’s sole run would be scored in the bottom of the third, as Big Swingin’ Corey Dickerson sent Kevin Kiermaier home from second base with a single to right center field. 1-0 Rays.
Things went south in the sixth, as Kevin Pillar reached second on a first-pitch double that deflected off the glove of a diving Evan Longoria.
