Opening Day starter Chris Tillman, in his go-home start Wednesday before returning to Baltimore to begin the Orioles' season on Monday, finally turned in the type of start that reflects the kind of stuff he says he's had all spring.
It came in a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers that halted the Orioles' six-game unbeaten streak, on a night when the offense was uncharacteristically quiet. But all that matters to Tillman and anyone else in white Wednesday was getting this close to the end of spring training healthy and ready for the season.
