It’s not such a big deal to lose to Chris Sale. The Rays have done it before. They’ll probably do it again. Move on, there’s another game tomorrow.
But it is a big deal when your number two starter leaves the game in the second inning.
On the first pitch of the second, Jake Odorizzi threw a breaking ball, winced badly after the follow through, grabbed at the top of his left hamstring, and immediately beckoned the trainer out of the clubhouse. Ron Porterfield watched Odorizzi throw two practice pitches with Odor shaking his head in frustration after each one.
