Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Jake Odorizzi held his own in a thrilling pitchers duel, going 7 innings, 4 hits and no runs. He got a tough no decision as Tampa Bay dropped the game to the White Sox, 1-0.

Wei-Yin Chen went into the 7th, giving the Marlins 6 1/3 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs and 1 walk but got no decision as the Braves won their first game of the year, 6-3.

Edwin Encarnacion went 3 for 4 with a pair of homers and 3 RBI in Toronto’s 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Starling Marte doubled, singled twice, stole a base, drove in a run and made a highlight reel catch in the Pirates 8-4 loss to Milwaukee.
