Takes no-decision Friday Cobb pitched 5.1 innings against Seattle on Friday, allowing two unearned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The right-hander needed 97 pitches to get 16 outs, but he may have emerged from the appearance unscathed on the scoreboard if not for a two-out, fourth-inning error that ultimately led to two runs crossing the plate. Cobb induced only six swinging strikes yet managed to strike out five. Since yielding six runs across four frames against Tampa Bay on June 26, he has allowed only one earned run across two starts covering 13 innings. He heads into the All-Star break with a 4.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and career-best 10.1 K/9.

Impact Cobb's only run allowed came in the third inning where Domingo Leyba scored on a fielder's choice. He threw 112 pitches through 7.2 innings in his longest outing of the season. The 33-year-old has been inconsistent of late, giving up just one earned run in three of his past six starts while yielding a total of 16 earned runs across the other three. He has a 4.60 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with a team-leading six wins overall.

Roughed up by Rays Cobb (5-3) gave up six runs on six hits and one walk over four innings in Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay. He had three strikeouts.
Impact Manuel Margot lined a home run to center field off Cobb in the second inning to stake the Rays to a 2-0 lead. Tampa Bay knocked the hurler from the game with four more runs the rest of the way. After a nice string of starts in May, Cobb has now been hammered for five-plus runs in three of his last four outings. He owns a 5.09 ERA and .130 WHIP with a 63:17 K:BB over 53 innings of work.

Fans eight in fifth win Cobb (5-2) earned the victory over Detroit on Friday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight.
Impact Cobb entered the contest having given up five runs in each of his past two outings, and he would have escaped without allowing any runners to cross the plate Friday if not for a sixth-inning error by Jared Walsh that helped the Tigers push across a single tally against him. By that point, the Angels had already notched seven runs and given Cobb all the support he needed to earn his fifth win of the campaign. The right-hander helped himself with eight strikeouts and has unexpectedly blossomed in that category that season, posting over a strikeout per inning for the first time in his 10-year career. That has given him some fantasy relevance despite a pedestrian 4.41 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. Cobb's next start is lined up to come at Tampa Bay next weekend.

Shelled in short outing Cobb hurled three innings against Arizona on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three. He did not actor in the decision.
Impact The right-hander breezed through his first two innings, allowing only one hit. However, things fell apart for Cobb in the third frame, as he gave up six singles, a double and a walk while watching five Diamondbacks cross the plate. He has given up 10 earned runs over his past 10 innings after a strong run during which he yielded only one earned run over 17 frames. The inconsistent play has resulted in a subpar 4.98 ERA, though Cobb's 52:14 K:BB on the season is more promising. He's tentatively slated to face Detroit at home in his next start Friday.
