Odorizzi's strong outing ended after the seventh, with the one hit, the walk and Dustin Ackley reaching on an error earlier in the game being his only blemishes. He struck out six but saw his record fall to 2-3.
The fearsome bullpen trio of Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman worked an easy three innings to give a win to New York starter Nathan Eovaldi, who limited the Rays to one run and six hits over a 105-pitch effort.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Castro busts it up: Odorizzi had faced the minimum through six innings, but Gardner worked a one-out walk in the seventh before Castro spoiled the right-hander's afternoon with his seventh home run of the year. The blast snapped a 14-at-bat hitless streak for Castro and marked his 17th extra-base hit of the season.
Miller's bobble ends perfect bid: With Odorizzi still perfect with one out in the top of the sixth, Ackley hit a sharp grounder to Brad Miller. The shortstop fumbled the ball and double clutched, one-hopping a throw to first baseman Logan Morrison too late to throw out Ackley. Miller was charged with an error on the play, which was ruled to stand by a video review.
