In a time of upheaval for the Orioles rotation, the growing pains of right-hander Tyler Wilson went largely unnoticed. His peers' struggles were of the spectacular variety, so Wilson's just-good-enough performances sufficed.
On Thursday, his performance was quite good enough.
Wilson delivered his best start of the season, and the best of his young major league career. It was good enough to provide cover to a rotation under fire, rest for a bullpen that's been overused, and plenty of cushion for the awakened Orioles offense in a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox.
