Rays starting pitcher Alex Cobb looked like he didn't miss a beat in his return from more than month on the disabled list Thursday, in a 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Cobb pitched into the seventh inning against the A's without allowing a run, finishing with 6 2/3 scoreless innings to show for it. He limited the A's to just three hits and a pair of walks, while striking out six batters on 96 pitches. He settled for a no-decision despite his strong outing, due to a blown save.
Cobb ended up missing more than a month of action while recovering from an oblique injury, but looked great in his first action. He is 1-1 with a 1.40 ERA in four starts this season, heading into Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays.
