The Alex Cobb revenge game against the Orioles went worse than you might have feared. No, Cobb didn’t throw a no-hitter, so it could have been worse still than what it was. The Orioles had five hits, so there’s that, and they finished within grand slam range. That doesn’t make me feel any better. When it was all over with, the Giants finished on top, 4-0.
The problems, in brief: Cobb dominated for over seven innings, Kyle Bradish labored through only four innings, leaving relievers you’d rather not see to cover the rest, and Gunnar Henderson left the game early due to what the team said was lower back discomfort.
