Orioles' Chris Tillman looks to reverse poor first impression Monday against Tigers

Orioles reporters Jon Meoli and Eduardo A. Encina on Dylan Bundy’s uneven spring and what it means that the Orioles optioned catcher Austin Wynns to minor league camp.

Not much has changed about Chris Tillman's assessment of his spring training debut last week against the Minnesota Twins, in which he walked six and was charged with four runs in two-plus innings.

But as he enters the final week of camp and prepares to face the Detroit Tigers on Monday in Lakeland, Fla., the urgency has. Tillman knows that despite being a veteran and a familiar pitcher to the Orioles, the level of uncertainty about his performance after a career-worst 2017 will rise with another rocky Grapefruit League performance.
