Wednesday afternoon, Jake Odorizzi gets the call for the Tampa Bay Rays as they face Vidal Nuno and the New York Yankees. Odorizzi makes his 17 ^th start as Nuno makes his 14^th start and 17^th appearance.

Jake Odorizzi pitched to a no-decision his last time out and that held his record at 3 - 7 with an ERA of 4.14. In that outing, Odorizzi pitched 5 innings of 1 run, 6 hit ball as he walked 4 and struck out 6. But it took him 106 pitches to get through 5 innings and that was a main reason behind the short night. Last season, Odorizzi started just 4 games and appeared in an additional 3 as he compiled a 0 - 1 record with a save and an ERA of 3.94.

In 2013, Odorizzi picked up his lone save against the Yankees after allowing a hit in 3 innings of work. This season, Odorizzi didn't factor into the decision in his only start against the Yankees after allowing 3 runs on 5 hits (including a homer) in 4 innings.

Vidal Nuno got the win in his last outing and that took his record to 2 - 4 with a 5.42 ERA. In that start, Nuno didn't surrender a run in 5 innings as he gave up just 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. It was one of the better outings of the season for Nuno, who has been less than impressive. During his rookie campaign in 2013, he went 1- 2 with a 2.25 ERA in 3 starts and 2 relief appearances.

Last season, Nuno pitched to a no-decision in his only start against the Rays after allowing 2 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings of work. This season, Nuno has faced the Rays twice and he has 2 no-decisions to show for his effort.
