Alex Cobb may not have been on top of his game tonight, but he was effective nonetheless. He scattered 10 hits over six plus innings, allowing at least one baserunner in every frame that he pitched. Yet he was still able to register a quality start.
In the bottom of the first inning, Mookie Betts got doubled off second base after a leadoff double. Jonathan Schoop corralled a squib shot in shallow right-center and fired the ball in to Manny Machado at second base, just a split second ahead of a sliding Betts.
