Despite his track record of success against the opposing lineup, Jake Odorizzi allowed six earned runs, six hits, and walked five batters in last night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. Odorizzi was lifted after only recording one out in the fifth inning, matching his injury-shortened start in early June as the shortest of the season.
The Blue Jays needed only six runs as they would go on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the series opener by a score of 6-2. With the Blue Jays' victory, the team is now tied with the Rays for second place in the American League East.
