EDGE Analysis
Odorizzi cruised through the first three innings before giving up a Byron Buxton double to lead off the fourth, which was promptly followed by a Joe Mauer opposite-field home run. The right-hander finished spring with a 4.91 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over 11 innings across four starts and as per Bill Chastain of MLB.com, feels ready to face the Yankees on Tuesday at Tropicana Field. "Today's the best my arm has felt, most lively it's felt all spring," Odorizzi said. "So that's a good thing going into the season. I thought my fastball command was the best that it's been. So it's kind of a good cap to Spring Training."
