It was the longest streak for any reliever with that many innings pitched this season. Cobb returned to the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night and made his first Major League Baseball start since September 28, 2025 against the Toronto Blue Jays.

In other games, the Los Angeles Angels trounced the Seattle Mariners 10-3, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 2-0, the Minnesota Twins toppled the Chicago White Sox 11-3, and the Arizona Diamondbacks were 9-4 winners against the Colorado Rockies.

Blue Jays: OF Melvin Upton Jr., hitting just.185 (20 for 108) against right-handers since the All-Star break, didn't start with Archer pitching. They always hold us in check for the most part.

The victory had special meaning for the Rays because it happened on the night that Alex Cobb returned to the mound after an absence of 705 games while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He went just 1.2 innings allowing 5 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits, walking 5 (a reoccurring theme for the kid this season, despite his otherwise good numbers).

In spite of last night's disappointing loss to the Rays, a team that has gotten very good in recent years at playing the role of spoiler in the American League East, the news isn't all bad for Canada's team moving forward. Lopez is starting in place of Nationals' ace Max Scherzer, who will be getting an extra day of rest on Sunday before he headlines a ten-game homestand on Monday afternoon. He struck out Jose Bautista to get things started, but things quickly took a turn when Josh Donaldson a ground rule double to center. Cobb got Michael Saunders to ground out for the second out of the inning on a 91.3 miles per hour sinker.

"(Cobb) got a couple of innings under his belt", said Gibbons. I felt like he threw the ball pretty well. "He knows how to survive".

Estrada gave up five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings, striking out six in his first road loss since April 16 at Boston. Morrison walked, Nick Franklin doubled and Corey Dickerson's ground ball out to second base plated Morrison.

Right now, I'm not thinking about anything else in my career, all I want is to retire at Real. Danilo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Luka Modric also found the net for Zinedine Zidane's side.

Rays second baseman Logan Forsythe tied a franchise record by reaching in 11 plate appearances in the three-game series. "Should have gone offspeed maybe in that situation".

"Everybody gives up hits", said Gibbons.

"And maybe that third one will be eluding me in some games for a while but hopefully with the work that I'll get in between starts here this week I'll get back to feeling like I can go to any pitch at any point in the game". "I just didn't do my job". I wouldn't say my stuff is exactly where I want it to be.

Up until Devon Travis' two-run single in the seventh erased a 3-1 deficit and Russell Martin's two-run homer in the eighth put them ahead, the Blue Jays seemed headed for their first three-game losing streak since June 18-21.

"Typically you're looking for a pitch out over the middle of the plate and that's what I got", said Martin. "He's a priority guy, a guy we're gonna need and we've got to keep him working".
