Odorizzi (0-2) surrendered seven hits - including three home runs - five earned runs and a walk over four innings in Friday's 6-3 loss to the A's. He struck out two.
The hard-throwing righty simply couldn't keep the ball in the park, giving up two home runs in the opening frame. Down 4-0 after just one inning as a result of the long ball, he evened things out a bit over the next three innings, but had an early exit after throwing 97 pitches overall during his four innings on the mound. The 26-year-old was coming off consecutive quality starts and had surrendered just three homers in his first seven starts combined prior to Friday, so the outing could simply be an outlier. He'll try to right the ship against the Blue Jays at the dangerous Rogers Centre next Wednesday.
