Noteworthiness
- Jake Odorizzi will take the mound tonight, opposite of Adam Wainwright (8-3, 2.31 ERA). Despite going 0-1 in his last two starts, the cutter/fastball/sinker/curve ball throwing RHP allowed only two runs over eight innings in his last start without getting a decision against Kansas City. You can read about tonight’s match up, and much more, in our series preview.

Maddon says lack of hitting comes down not to hitting coach Derek Shelton, but to the players. #Rays

Maddon on the tough sledding: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to do some real good things.” #Rays — WDAE 620 AM/95.3 FM (@620wdae) June 10, 2014
Maddon says team must get better, but to pin the blame entirely on Shelton is “inappropriate.” #Rays — WDAE 620 AM/95.3 FM (@620wdae) June 10, 2014
Maddon did admit he doesn’t like seeing his hitters take good first pitches. http://t.co/cSdrUgO211 #Rays
