Cobb, who has been the O’s best second-half pitcher, had a rare clunker against Toronto. The righty allowed five runs over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision on Wednesday against Toronto. He’ll get an extra day of rest before taking the mound at Safeco.
The veteran lefty is coming off two strong starts, holding the D-backs and A’s to seven hits and one run over 13 innings on the last road trip. Now he returns to Safeco Field, where he’s 6-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) this year.
