NOTE: This was originally scheduled to be Kyle Heckathorn and the post was already posted. Just learned that Heckathorn is being skipped today. NOTHING WRONG! JUST BEING SKIPPED! GEEZ! I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.
Anyway, Jake Odorizzi is your starter tonight.
RHP JAKE ODORIZZI: Selected by Milwaukee as a supplemental 1st round pick (32nd overall) in the 2008 draft out of Highland (IL) High School.

HIGHLAND HIGH: Odorizzi was 14-0 with three saves in his senior season with the Bulldogs. He allowed one earned run over 89-1/3 innings pitched to put up an ERA of 0.08 and struck out 146 batters while walking just six in his final season as a Bulldog and helped lead the team to its first ever Class 3A State Championship.
