Alex Cobb will not be intimidated by pitching in Minnesota since he used to face them regularly when he pitched for the Angels, Orioles and Rays. Cobb has been rock-solid for the Giants, allowing 3 or less runs in five straight starts. The Giants have gone under in four of his last five starts. He faced the Twins last season twice and gave up just 2 earned runs in 10 innings in two starts. He faces the always-tough Sonny Gray, who has allowed 5 runs in his last four starts.
