Two struggling pitchers with skyrocketing ERA's meet up as the Rays' Jake Odorizzi (1-1) takes on Miguel Gonzalez (0-1) and the Orioles Tuesday night. Tampa Bay has an added reliance on the 24-year-old Odorizzi after losing starting pitcher Alex Cobb to the DL to add to the list that already includes Jeremy Hellickson and Matt Moore. Odorizzi aims to regain the form he showed in his 1st start of the year, pitching 6 shutout innings against the Rangers compared to the 7-run, 10-hit performance the Royals put on him the last time out.

Odorizzi did have a relief appearance against the Orioles last season, pitching 3.2 innings of 1 hit shutout ball. Baltimore has had only 9 career AB's against the right-hander while posting 2 hits in that time (.222 average).

Baltimore's Miguel Gonzalez is off to a slow start in his bid for double-digit wins for the second straight year. He has given up 2 HR in both of his starts this year and has allowed 10 ER in just 9.1 IP. Gonzalez did follow up a 7 ER debut against Detroit in which he couldn't get out of the 4th inning by allowing only 3 ER in Baltimore's 5-4 win over the Yankees on April 9th.

The 29-year-old Gonzalez is familiar with the Rays, having made 4 starts against them in 2013. Gonzalez posted a 1-2 record in those starts as Tampa Bay scored 2 runs or more in each game. Part of Gonzalez' 4.18 ERA against Tampa Bay has come at the hands of Desmond Jennnings who has 3 HR in 18 career AB's.
