Cobb (9-7) lasted just three innings Monday, surrendering eight runs on nine hits and two walks in a loss to the Astros.
Cobb was an on absolute roll entering this start, having fired four consecutive quality starts with a 3-0 record and a 1.48 ERA. The Astros have that effect on pitchers, considering that they're one of just two American League teams averaging more than five runs per game. This is already the 26th time in 2017 that the Astros have put up eight runs, so while Cobb is surely smarting after the beating he took Monday night, he's far from alone.
