The Orioles lost a game to the Cleveland Indians that Chris Tillman started. That is probably not a surprise. Tillman, though, never stood a chance, thanks to a horrific O’s offense that has saddled much better Orioles’ pitchers with a similar fate.
Let’s start with Tillman. Despite my essentially writing his eulogy last week, he’s still an Oriole, and he’s still in the starting rotation, and here he was on the mound again, riding a 21-start winless streak and an 8.28 ERA stretching back to last season. I’m starting to expect that I’ll still be recapping Chris Tillman starts in, like, September.
