ST. PETERSBURG -- Tyler Wilson has been a feel-good story for the Orioles this season, as last year's Minor League Pitcher of the Year had allowed just six runs in his first six games total with the Orioles.
So it wasn't surprising when Baltimore -- which recalled Wilson on Tuesday following the end of the Triple-A season -- gave Wilson a spot start on Friday. What was surprising was that the rookie right-hander, who entered the day 2-1 with a 2.19 ERA (including two starts) allowed six runs over 4 1/3 innings in the Orioles' 8-6 loss.
