The Baltimore Orioles needed a strong start out of Chris Tillman last night. The bullpen of course had been used in lon relief on Tuesday, and with an early-afternoon start today before heading out to L.A., it was important that Tillman was able to perform last night.
Luckily for the BIrds, he did just that. Tillman’s line: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 6 K. Tillman for the most part shut Seattle’s offense down all night, and mowed most of their hitters down. I think the best pitch he threw was his final one, which was a strike three – Tillman pulled a string and threw an 83 MPH change.
