Chris Tillman and the Orioles coincidentally cross paths in Texas

The Orioles arrived at Globe Life Park on Thursday to begin a four-game series against the Texas Rangers.

Chris Tillman showed up there Thursday hoping that a new start in a different organization will allow him to become a star-quality pitcher again.

Tillman signed a minor league contract with the Rangers and soon will be pitching with their Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock.

“Obviously good to have a new start,’’ Tillman said. “It’s kind of like spring training. It’s the start of a new year. It’s a new opportunity and I’m excited to be here.
