Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb strikes out 13 San Diego hitters, but doesn’t make it out of the fourth inning in the Rays’ 6-3 victory at the Trop. The right-hander records 12 of his 14 outs with K’s, including four in the third frame, when a wild pitch on strike three allows the batter to reach first.

Alex Cobb of the Rays goes on a strikeout binge, piling up 13 Ks in only 4 2/3 innings. This includes 4 strikeouts in the 3rd, when Will Venable reaches on a wild pitch after striking out. However, all the strikeouts mean a high pitch count, and Cobb can’t get out of the 5th inning, leaving with a 3 – 2 deficit. The Rays come back to beat the Padres, 6 – 3, as four relievers add five more whiffs for a total of 18.
