Via Rotoworld: Cobb made it through 7 2/3 innings without allowing a run to beat the Red Sox 1-0 on Saturday. He gave up just two base hits and one walk while striking out three in the gem outing. He tossed 111 pitches and kept opposing batters off-balance and befuddled all afternoon. Cobb will take a 7-6 record with a 3.75 ERA into the All Star break. He’s registered 76 strikeouts and 30 walks in 115 1/3 innings through 18 starts. He missed all of 2015 and most of 2016 with an elbow injury.
Ramirez tossed six scoreless innings Sunday in the Angels’ 3-0 shutout of the Rangers. Ramirez issued five walks and only recorded two strikeouts, but he limited the sometimes-dangerous Rangers offense to two hits in the afternoon victory. Ramirez closes out the first half of the 2017 regular season with an 8-7 record, 4.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 81/30 K/BB ratio in 103 innings.
