BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jake Odorizzi pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Steven Souza Jr. hit a two-run double to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat a Pittsburgh Pirates split squad 3-1 Saturday night.
Pirates left fielder Starling Marte exited in the fourth inning due to tightness in his right quadriceps. Marte stumbled out of the batter's box in the second.
David Freese homered to left-center, his second home run in seven games since signing with the Pirates.
Francisco Liriano lasted only 4 2/3 innings even though he was scheduled to work six.
