Earns win in scoreless start Odorizzi (3-2) yielded one hit and two walks over five shutout innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Tigers.
Impact The only danger that Odorizzi faced in the victory came during the fourth inning; after two walks and a wild pitch, he had two runners in scoring position with one out but escaped the jam unscathed. The veteran righty has allowed just one run over 17.2 frames during his three-start winning streak after giving up 12 runs (nine earned) in his first three outings. Odorizzi will carry a 3.38 ERA into next week's projected start in Washington.

Impressive again in win Odorizzi (2-2) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, completing 6.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three.
Impact Odorizzi didn't miss many bats in the contest -- he induced only six swinging strikes -- but he didn't give up any extra-base hits or allow any Mariners to reach second base. The right-hander started the season poorly, posting a 9.00 ERA through his first three starts, but he has bounced back to allow just one run over 12.2 frames across his past two trips to the mound. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home against Detroit this weekend.

Dominant over six frames Odorizzi (1-2) tossed six innings, giving up one run on one hit and a walk while striking out four on his way to a win Tuesday over the Rangers.
Impact Odorizzi was almost perfect Tuesday with his only run given up coming on an Adolis Garcia solo homer in the bottom of the second inning. His four strikeouts were a season-high while he picked up his first win of the campaign. After back to back challenging outings, Tuesday's start brought his season numbers from a 9.00 ERA and 2.56 WHIP to a more manageable 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. He'll look to build off of this start when he faces the Mariners on Monday.

Can't escape first inning Odorizzi (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering six runs (three earned) on two hits and four walks over two-thirds of an inning as the Astros fell 6-0 to the Angels. He struck...
Impact The first five Los Angeles batters all reached base against Odorizzi, and while a Yuli Gurriel two-out error after he'd already gotten the hook tacked some additional runs onto his ledger, there's no solver lining for the right-hander here. Odorizzi has a brutal 9.00 ERA, 2.56 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB through nine innings over his first three starts, and it may not be long before he loses his spot in the rotation entirely given how effective Cristian Javier has been in long relief, including 3.2 scoreless frames Wednesday.

Hit hard by Mariners Odorizzi (0-1) took the loss during Friday's 11-1 defeat at the hands of the Mariners, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout in 4.1 innings.
Impact Odorizzi permitted multiple baserunners leading to runs in the first, fourth and fifth innings, only for the Houston bullpen to allow seven more runs in the final three innings. That's now consecutive starts going less than five innings for the 32-year-old, who has offered little strikeout upside thus far as well. Odorizzi is scheduled to pitch next against the Angels on Wednesday.

Solid through four innings Odorizzi took a no-decision during Friday's 13-6 victory over the Angels, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts in four innings.
Impact Odorizzi surrendered both runs in the first but settled down to limit Los Angeles' offense thereafter and bide time for Houston's offense to ignite. The 32-year-old is set to face Seattle in his next start Friday and should hold the fifth spot in Houston's rotation until Lance McCullers returns from injury.
