Tillman surrendered five hits, two earned runs and a walk over 7.1 innings against the Orioles on Monday. He struck out three but did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Despite turning in his best outing of September, Tillman left without a victory after Darren O'Day eventually allowed a game-tying single to Jose Bautista. The 27-year-old was sharp on Monday, throwing 69 of his 104 pitches for strikes and notching first-pitch strikes on 19 of the 27 batters he faced. As customary, Tillman pitched to contact--inducing only four swings-and-misses-- but largely stayed out of trouble by coaxing 11 ground balls out of the potent Blue Jays offense. Tillman figures to have one more opportunity to finish 2015 with a .500 record when he takes the mound this coming weekend against the Red Sox.

Tillman (10-11) gave up three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings during Wednesday's win in Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being on the other end of a dominating outing by Max Scherzer, Tillman ended up keeping the O's in the game long enough for the win. He's still walking too many batters while striking out relatively few, which isn't a formula for sustainable success. Tillman's next start comes against the Jays, who scored six off him back on Sept. 6.

Tillman gave up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5.2 innings against the Rays on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an awfully bad run for Tillman over his last five starts, as he's given up 24 runs -- all earned -- in 24.2 innings over that span. After a hot stretch in July, Tillman has simply imploded down the stretch. After pitching to an ERA no worse than 3.71 in the last three seasons, it was hard to see a disaster like this year coming, but Tillman's already modest bat-missing ability has faded further, and it's put him in bad situations game after game.

Tillman took a no-decision Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
He carried a 4-1 lead into the sixth, but then Tillman and the O's bullpen proceeded to cough up five runs in the frame. He'll look for his first win in a month Thursday when Baltimore travels to Tampa Bay.

Tillman gave up seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five in 4.2 innings against the Rays on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After going 12 starts without a defeat Tillman has now lost his last three decisions. There have been stretches this year when Tillman was useful in mixed leagues, but on the whole he has been a pretty big disappointment. Things won't get any easier for the 27-year-old right, as his next start is Monday in Yankee Stadium.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners after missing his last two outings because of a left ankle sprain, according to MASN Sports. Tillman was originally set to return to the mound Sunday or Monday, but the Orioles wanted to give the ankle as much time as necessary to heal. He suffered the injury in the ninth inning of his last start against the Atlanta Braves. "I would like to get in as soon as possible," Tillman told the Baltimore Sun on Saturday. "These guys have been picking me up. I would like to get in there and do my job, do my part." The right-handed Tillman struggled most of the season before posting a 1.31 earned-run average in five July starts. The Orioles are in third place in the American League East at 55-53.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman's next start will come on Sunday at the earliest because of an ankle injury, according to the team's official website. Tillman was initially scheduled to pitch on Friday, but he will be pushed back in the rotation a couple of days to allow his sprained ankle extra time to heal.

Tillman allowed two runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out six over six innings, but came away with a no-decision against Washington on Friday night. While he has pitched better recently, Tillman and his 5.40 ERA continues to be too hittable, and not very efficient (he needed 107 pitches, 71 for strikes to cover six innings). He remains a risky play in fantasy leagues until he shows some consistency in keeping runners off base.

Tillman allowed two runs on 10 hits with one walk and four strikeouts, but did not figure in the decision in Saturday's loss to the White Sox. Tillman tossed seven shutout innings his last time out, but that start appears to be an aberration on what has been a forgettable season. The good news is that Tillman did not allow a lot of runs and he now has just one walk in his last 13 innings, but he has been very hittable in that same span. There is just no way to trust Tillman if his starts can be avoided right now.

Tillman was excellent against the Indians on Sunday, allowing just four hits with six strikeouts across seven shutout innings en route to his sixth win of the season. It was a great bounce-back performance for the 27-year-old after he was rocked in his last start and he threw 70 of his 110 pitches for strikes on the day. Tillman's inconsistency this season is evident in his 5.67 ERA and he will look to build on this strong outing in his next scheduled start Friday against the struggling White Sox.
