Bats erase Tillman's early deficit as Orioles top Royals, 11-6, to take series

An Orioles offense that returned home this week and became as close to whole as it’s been all season erased another daunting first-inning deficit and pummeled the visiting Royals, 11-6, to take this three-game set in front of an announced 17,842 at Camden Yards and improve to 10-27.

After Chris Tillman allowed a grand slam four batters into the game, the Orioles' bats decided they wouldn't stand for another embarrassing blowout.

So leadoff man Trey Mancini doubled and scored on a double by Adam Jones, and Jones scored Manny Machado's 10th home run of the season.
