Odorizzi eyes first win in third start vs. Royals

Jake Odorizzi will see the Royals for the third straight time when he takes the mound in Friday's 7:05 p.m. CT series opener at Kauffman Stadium as the Twins open a 10-game road trip. He struggled in his season debut before finding better command in his last outing, retiring 12 of his first 13 batters before allowing a two-run homer to his final hitter. Kansas City left-hander Danny Duffy (1-2, 4.44 ERA) will also face the Twins for a third straight outing. Watch the action free on MLB.TV.
