Perhaps the announcement was a mere formality, however the Baltimore Orioles will be starting Chris Tillman in next Monday’s Opening Day game against Minnesota at Camden Yards. This Buck Showalter confirmed yesterday; what’s not been confirmed as of yet is who else will be in the rotation. You can bank on Gallardo and Jimenez – the rest might have to work itself out.
This will be the third consecutive Opening Day assignment for Tillman, however apparently Gallardo and Jimenez were in the mix also.
