Rays pitcher Alex Cobb allowed only an unearned run to the Orioles over seven innings Wednesday, but still got tagged with his fifth loss. Cobb (2-5) struck out six, walked four and allowed four hits in his second consecutive strong outing.
Second baseman Ben Zobrist misplayed a grounder in the fifth, leading to the only run Cobb allowed. Cobb has allowed one earned run over his last 13 1/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 3.48. He'll face the Pirates on Monday.
