PHOENIX -- Cleveland's Trevor Bauer, Houston's Collin McHugh and Tampa Bay's Jake Odorizzi won their salary arbitration cases Thursday, and Toronto's Marcus Stroman and Minnesota's Kyle Gibson lost.
Decisions for all five pitchers had been held for simultaneous announcement to prevent any of the cases from being affected by the rulings.
Players have an 11-8 advantage over teams. There are three more hearings scheduled. The 22 decisions would be the most since players went 14-10 in 1990.
Cincinnati second baseman Scooter Gennett, Kansas City pitcher Brandon Maurer and Miami pitcher Dan Straily are the only players awaiting hearings from among the 27 who swapped proposed salaries with their teams last month.
