Orioles pitcher Alex Cobb has been waiting a long time to tell his teammates “thank you” following a victory.
That wait ended with his first regular-season win in almost two years.
Cobb mostly kept the Red Sox off balance on Saturday allowing just four hits and one run while striking out six in Baltimore’s 7-2 win. It was a big change from the day before, when the Orioles watched the Red Sox tally 17 hits in a 13-2 win on opening day.
After missing most of last season with a hip injury that required surgery, Cobb said making his first start since April 2019 was a small step in a journey to get back to where he wants to be.
