Cobb (1-0) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four in 5.2 innings during Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
He got pulled after throwing 90 pitches, just missing a quality start as a result, but it was still an encouraging beginning to the campaign for Cobb. The 29-year-old struggled at the end of last season in his return from Tommy John surgery, but he appears ready to return to the form that saw him post sub-3.00 ERAs in 2013-14 prior to his injury. Cobb will face the Yankees again in his next start Monday in New York.
