Rays take Game 1 of doubleheader from A’s in 10 innings
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Alex Cobb enjoyed the view from the mound, and the dugout, too.
Tampa Bay tied a season-high with five home runs, Cobb went six strong innings, and the Rays beat the Oakland Athletics 13-4 on Friday night.
When asked what it was like watching the Rays’ offensive onslaught, a joking Cobb said “Score em’ a little quicker, so I can get back out there.”
“You’re really happy just because there’s so many games where you’ve got to go out there and grind it out,” Cobb said. “Every single at-bat, pitch, there’s so much riding on it. It’s nice to be able to take a little bit of a deep breath.”
