Alex Cobb certainly had a night to remember as he pitched his second career shutout, 11 years after his first one. J.D. Davis had a three-run home as the San Francisco team strolled to victory.
Cobb walked one and threw 70 of his 109 pitches for strikes. He ended the night in style, striking out Tyler O’Neill for the final out to help San Francisco en route to third straight victory for the first time this year.
“It was one of the better pitching performances that we’ve seen in the last several years,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler spoke of Cobbs performance. “I thought the (splitter) was excellent.”
St. Louis second baseman Tommy Edman made a costly error to start a four-run rally in the seventh inning. Edman mishandled a routine grounder by Mike Yastrzemski, leading to four unearned runs.
St. Louis find themselves in a torrid run of losing all eight series openers this season. In fact, they are the only team yet to clinch a victory in the opener.
