For the Orioles, a spring of uncertainty spent looking for signs that right-hander Chris Tillman would be able to move on from his 2017 collapse and regain his place as a reliable part of the rotation looks like it will continue beyond March.
Featuring a fastball that rarely bumped past 90 mph and done in by an 11-batter, five-run second inning, Tillman pitched into the sixth Saturday. But he was charged with six runs as the Orioles closed up business at Ed Smith Stadium with a 12-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins before a sellout crowd of 7,769.
