Cruz drives in 2 to help Odorizzi, Twins beat Blue Jays 4-1
MINNEAPOLIS — Two starts ago, on a soggy mound in Philadelphia, Jake Odorizzi let the rain derail his pitching and didn’t finish the first inning.
The weather in Minnesota Wednesday night didn’t deter him, and neither did Toronto’s lineup.
Nelson Cruz had two hits and two RBIs, helping Odorizzi and the Twins beat the Blue Jays 4-1 following a 54-minute rain delay.
“I guess I could say I’ve learned from previous mistakes,” said Odorizzi, who for the first time in four starts this season by striking out six in 5 2/3 innings. “It’s just a go out there, mind over matter sort of a thing.”
