Odorizzi (6-5) shut the Royals out for six innings Wednesday, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out six in a winning effort.

EDGE Analysis

That's three straight scoreless outings for Odorizzi, and he's lasted at least six frames every time. He's had a disappointing 2016, regressing instead of building on last year's numbers, but if Odorizzi can maintain the strong control he's shown lately and regain the homer-prevention ability he's shown through much of his career, he should have nowhere to go but up. Nonetheless, his upcoming date with the division-rival Jays on Monday doesn't present an appetizing matchup.
