Odorizzi pushes himself in 120-pitch outing

MINNEAPOLIS -- Jake Odorizzi used a career-high 120 bullets on Friday night.

That's seven more pitches than he's ever thrown in a Major League game and that allowed the right-hander to get through the sixth inning to earn a no-decision in the Rays' 4-2 win over the Twins at Target Field.

"I was perfectly fine throwing 120," Odorizzi said. "My body felt fine. I don't think my stuff wavered at all. But, I did a good job of holding them in check with not the best stuff. So it was nice to get that extra amount of pitches when I knew I didn't have my best stuff and they knew it as well.
