Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi followed a sensational start to open the season in his first start with a terrible one Wednesday in Kansas City.
Odorizzi began the game with three shutout innings, but collapsed thereafter. He gave up two runs on three singles in the fourth and five runs on six hits in the fifth. That rally was capped by a three-run homer by Alex Gordon.
The 24-year-old Odorizzi had his ERA skyrocket from 0.00 to 5.73 in the defeat. He will attempt to lower it Tuesday in Baltimore.
