While he was briefly sidelined with a left indirect challenge final month, Cobb has established himself as a sturdy and dependable presence atop San Francisco’s rotation, with the Giants profitable 9 of his final 10 begins courting to May 6.
“I think that we just take a little bit more responsibility when the guys are kind of down to try to pick it up and win the game from our end as much as we can,” Cobb mentioned. “You’re going to have skids throughout the year. You’ve got to stop them and not let those long stretches take away from that great 10-game win streak we had.”
Cobb’s pitch depend stood at 88 pitches by six innings, however he was making solely his second begin since coming off the 15-day IL, so the Giants opted to show the sport over to their bullpen within the seventh. Taylor and Tyler Rogers and All-Star Camilo Doval mixed to pitch the ultimate three innings and seal the Giants’ eighth shutout win of the 12 months, with Doval bouncing again from a tough outing on Monday to transform his twenty fifth save of the 12 months, tied with the Blue Jays’ Jordan Romano for probably the most within the Majors.
“It was great for [Cobb] to come out and just pound the strike zone, use all of his pitches, mix them well, hit spots,” supervisor Gabe Kapler mentioned. “I’m not sure that his stuff was like A-plus. It was solid, but it was plenty to get us through those six innings. I actually think it was an interesting decision to get him out of the game. It was mostly based on how many pitches he’s built up to since he came off the IL. He was pitching very, very well. I think he was fully in control.”
Cobb’s gem helped take some strain off the Giants’ slumping offense, which produced solely two runs on eight hits — together with three from Wilmer Flores — towards left-hander Tommy Milone and 4 Mariners relievers.
The Giants scored each of their runs on fly balls from LaMonte Wade Jr., who opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly within the third after which reached on a expensive defensive miscue by Mariners middle fielder Julio Rodríguez within the fifth. Wade appeared to ship a routine fly ball to the warning observe with a pair of runners on base, however Rodríguez allowed the ball to hit off his glove and drop for an error, scoring Austin Slater from second base and increasing San Francisco’s result in 2-0.
Cobb felt he wasn’t getting the very best shapes on his pitches on account of some points along with his supply, however he remained efficient on Wednesday, leaning closely on his sinker (51%) to stymie the Mariners’ hitters.

Crawford’s hard-hit grounder to finish the fifth, whereas Davis got here charging in to area Eugenio Suárez’s chopper down the third-base line and made a robust throw to first to finish the sixth.
“I can definitely navigate a lineup without my best stuff, but it makes it a little bit more challenging,” Cobb mentioned. “I need some big pitches and also need some balls to find some people and some good plays behind me, which we had tonight.”
