The Baltimore Orioles have to know that they probably won’t get a more dominant pitching perforance this year than what they saw out of Chris Tillman last night. Tillman’s line: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K. Coming into the game, Tillman’s issue was going to be the guy against whom he was going to be pitching: Detroit’s Justin Verlander.
Verlander had never lost a decision against the Orioles at Camden Yards. Now keep in
mind that’s a very specific way of phrasing my point, because of course it carries an asterik.
