From Rotoworld: Davies surrendered three runs on seven hits over seven innings in Sunday’s loss to the Cubs. Davies fanned six without walking a batter in the contest. The key play on his watch came when Victor Caratini launched a solo home run with one out in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and propel the Cubs on their way to the victory. That aside, Davies has really found his groove of late, having pitched at least seven innings in each of his last three outings. He will try to make it four straight when he brings his 4.42 ERA and 1.42 WHIP into a road start against the Rays in his next scheduled outing.
Cobb was torched for eight runs in three innings by the Astros in a loss Monday. There’s little shame in getting roughed up by Houston, but the magnitude of this one still hurts. Cobb has allowed two runs or fewer in 12 of 22 starts, but a couple of disastrous outings (he gave up nine runs to the Mariners on June 3) have left him with a rather undistinguished 3.89 ERA. He’ll get the Brewers next.
