PHOENIX — San Francisco Giants right-hander Alex Cobb left Tuesday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the third inning after apparently aggravating a left hip injury that has been bothering him since mid-June.
Cobb, 35, hadn’t pitched since Sept. 11 while the team tried to give him time to recover. Cobb was throwing to Alek Thomas in the third when he grimaced in pain after releasing a pitch.
After a short discussion on the mound, Cobb left with medical staff.
Cobb gave up five earned runs over the first two innings. He entered 7-6 with a 3.62 ERA. Left-hander Alex Wood replaced Cobb on the mound.
