BALTIMORE — One-time Mariners’ prospect Chris Tillman continued his brilliant start to the 2016 season. The lanky right-hander limited the Mariners to just two runs in a 5-2 victory for Baltimore on Wednesday night at Camden Yards.
Tillman, who was part of the regrettable trade that brought Erik Bedard to Seattle, and sent Adam Jones, Tillman and three others players to Baltimore, improved to 6-1 on the season.
Taijuan Walker had one of his less crisp outings of the season, taking the loss and falling to 2-3.
Walker needed 91 pitches to fight his way through five innings worth of Orioles hitters and the erratic strike zone of umpire Rob Drake.
