Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Alex Cobb throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres, Friday, May 10, 2013, in St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay Alex Cobb has struck out 13 in 4 2-3 innings Friday night, becoming the first pitcher in major league history to fan that many batters and fail to make it through the fifth inning. The right-hander left the game against the San Diego Padres after throwing 117 pitches. He recorded 13 of 14 outs on strikeouts - four of them in the third, when a wild pitch on strike three allowed Will Venable to reach base. The Padres center fielder stole second and third base, then scored on a balk for a 3-0 lead. Cobb departed after walking Yonder Alonso with two outs in the fifth. The Rays trailed 3-2 at the time.
