Cobb (1-1) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Astros after surrendering five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out four across 2.2 innings.
Cobb got off to a rocky first inning, loading the bases on back-to-back singles and a walk with two outs. Luckily, the 33-year-old slammed the door by striking out Kyle Tucker to end the frame. Things proved tougher in the second inning, during which Cobb allowed the Astros to put three runs on the board, including giving up a triple to Myles Straw and walking a run in. It was a disappointing outing after the right-hander's 10-strikeout showing in his last start, but Cobb will look to bounce back when he takes the mound again Wednesday at Texas.
