ST. LOUIS -- Jake Odorizzi is proving that he can go home again.
Odorizzi, who grew up 30 miles northeast of St. Louis in Highland, Ill., held the Cardinals to just two hits over five innings in a 7-1 Twins victory on Tuesday afternoon at Busch Stadium.
Odorizzi (3-2) retired nine of the final 10 batters he faced as the Twins won their season-high fifth game in a row. His only mistake was missing with a fastball to Jose Martinez, who hit it over the center-field wall for a solo homer in the first.
