CHICAGO -- All things considered, the Orioles are pleased with Chris Tillman's outing Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
After allowing nine runs in 1 1/3 innings in his previous start, last week against the Yankees, Tillman went 5 1/3 innings in the Orioles' 5-2 loss to the White Sox. He was charged with five runs and couldn't help Baltimore earn a split in the four-game series, but Tillman kept the Orioles in a tight 1-1 game before Chicago broke it open with four runs off him in the sixth.
"I think it was much better, tell you the truth," Tillman said.
