U.S. Cellular Field will be the home to a pitching matchup of 2 young starters Monday night. The Tampa Bay Rays, led by Jake Odorizzi, will travel to Chicago to take on the White Sox, who will turn to Andre Rienzo.

Odorizzi, the 24-year-old native of Illinois is in the 3rd season of his big league career and is currently just 1-2 this season and 1-4 overall. After his first start of the season, the White Sox thought they had a pitcher they could rely on for years, but in his past 3 starts, it looks like a minor league stint may be in order. He has lasted just 13 1/3 innings in those past 3 starts, allowing 14 earned runs on 20 hits and 7 walks with 13 strikeouts. He has never faced a batter currently with the White Sox, which could be beneficial in his hopes to get back on track this season.

The 25-year-old Rienzo is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He made 10 starts a year ago for the White Sox and went 2-3 with a 4.82 ERA. He has made 2 appearances (1 start) this season and has gone 7 1/3 innings with 4 earned runs allowed on 6 hits with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. Much like his counterpart on the mound, this will be the first time Rienzo will pitch to any member of the Rays.
