CLEVELAND -- Coming off his best start of the season, it looked like right-hander Jake Odorizzi was on his way to a second straight strong outing until he hit yet another sixth-inning snag.
Odorizzi, who pitched into the seventh inning for the first time all season in his last start, couldn't get there against the Indians, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings in a 5-3 loss on Thursday afternoon at Progressive Field. It gave Cleveland both the series and season series win, taking 10 of 19 against Minnesota.
Odorizzi had given up just one run heading into the sixth on an RBI single to Edwin Encarnacion in the fourth.
