Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi couldn't complete five innings despite throwing 113 pitches Tuesday, giving up three earned runs on four hits and five walks in 4 2/3 innings while striking out eight in his team's 3-0 loss to the A's.
Odorizzi (2-4) had been brilliant in his previous two starts, striking out 18 in 11 scoreless innings, but while the Ks remained high, he struggled through the first two innings Tuesday, ultimately giving up all three runs in the second inning. He owns a 4.98 ERA and 52:23 K:BB ratio in 43 1/3 innings. Odorizzi is slated to face the Red Sox Sunday.
