Right-hander Tyler Wilson's spot start on Saturday night was by no means an audition — he was placed in the position because it was the best way for the Orioles to protect their bullpen — but Wilson made a strong case to remain in his team's struggling rotation in his first starting opportunity of the season.
Wilson allowed just two runs on six hits over five inning in the Orioles' 8-3 win over the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals.
The 26-year-old Wilson, who opened the season in the bullpen, was making his first start of this season and the sixth of his major league career.
