Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi was stuck with a loss Monday after giving up two earned runs on six hits and two walks in six innings and striking out eight in his team's 6-0 defeat against the Royals.
Odorizzi (4-8) worked his way out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the second inning before giving up two runs in the third. He was able to keep the Royals' offense mostly at bay, but the Rays' offense couldn't get anything going Monday. Odorizzi owns a 4.10 ERA and 109:37 K:BB ratio in 94 1/3 innings. He's slated to face the Blue Jays Sunday.
