Cobb shakes off blister, helps Rays stifle Fish

Cobb improved to 3-1 with a 1.78 ERA lifetime against the Marlins.

Marlins right-hander Edinson Volquez was lifted after 4 1/3 innings with a right thumb blister. Volquez had a wild night, striking out nine, but also issuing a career-high eight walks, which is tied with St. Louis' Carlos Martinez for the most in the Majors this year. Per Elias, Volquez is the first pitcher in MLB's modern era (since 1900) to strike out nine and walk eight in fewer than five innings.

Morrison blistered his two-out home run to right field. Per Statcast™, the drive was projected at 393 feet at 109.
