Rays starter Alex Cobb (8-3) turned in an impressive start as he went the distance, but was not backed by enough run support as he took the loss Saturday night against the A's. The right-hander surrendered two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over eight innings of a 2-1 defeat.

Cobb has allowed two earned runs or fewer in nine of his last 10 starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday against the Angels in Los Angeles.
