Odorizzi will aim to keep his pitch count down in Tuesday's start, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odorizzi, who'll face off against the Orioles on Tuesday night, has had trouble with efficiency in three of his four starts this season. He was over 100 pitches in his first two trips to the mound of 2016 despite not pitching past the sixth inning in either. He then threw 97 pitches in just four innings versus the Red Sox in his last start on April 21, surrendering five earned runs in a 37-pitch opening frame. Despite the struggles, Odorizzi feels that a smoother performance in the early innings will go a long way towards improvement. "I think if I can get through the first couple of innings with a lower pitch count, I think that's really just gonna catapult me throughout the rest of the season and get things going on the right track."
