Odorizzi (0-1) lasted only two-thirds of an inning Friday, giving up five runs (four earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out one to take the loss against the Phillies.
This was the shortest outing of Odorizzi's career. He couldn't find the zone, throwing only 50 percent of his pitches for strikes. The defense behind him didn't help, as the Twins committed two errors in the first inning. Thanks to a strong first outing, Odorizzi's numbers aren't completely out of whack in the small sample size, but he does have an unimpressive 6.75 ERA. He also has a 1.20 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 6.2 innings. His next start will likely be against the Tigers.
