Cobb has 2nd straight strong outing but O`s fall
(MLB.com Baltimore Orioles)

After getting hit around in the first three starts of his Baltimore career, Alex Cobb twirled his second consecutive quality start in Sunday`s series finale against the A`s. But in another installment of the Orioles` season-long struggles to synchronize their hitting, pitching and fielding, an untimely defensive miscue and another silent game from the bats meant that the O`s couldn`t take advantage of Cobb`s strong outing in a 2-1 loss to Oakland that sealed a winless road trip.
