Odorizzi (hamstring) returned to the mound Monday against the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk across six innings en route to a no-decision. He struck out six.
Odorizzi pitched well in his return from a strained hamstring, giving up just a sacrifice fly after an error in the first inning and a solo homer to Marcell Ozuna in the fourth. He was rather economical, needing just 78 pitches to make it through five frames. However, his absence over the last couple weeks without a rehab assignment caused his removal at that juncture, just before the Rays took the lead. Though he wasn't lucky enough to get the win, Odorizzi still lowered his ERA to 3.50 and will look to take on a regular workload in Sunday's start against the Blue Jays.
