MIAMI -- Holding the opposition in check has proven to be the easy part for Jake Odorizzi more times than not. Picking up a win from it is another story.
The Rays starter threw five innings of shutout ball on Tuesday afternoon in a 4-3 win over the Marlins to gain a split of the two-game series at Marlins Park. Odorizzi allowed just two hits, one in each of the first two innings, walked three and struck out seven.
The hard-luck pitcher's lack of run support played a factor in having received six no-decisions coming into the game, which ranked second among Major League starters.
