Chris Tillman allowed three runs on eight hits over seven innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.
The right-hander managed to turn in a quality start despite not having his best stuff. Tillman didn't walk a batter but failed to register a strikeout, either. Still, he's now turned in two decent starts after a rough stretch in late May and early June. Tillman will try to keep the stretch going against the Yankees on Saturday.

Chris Tillman allowed just a single run over six innings of work but took the loss against the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Tillman dealt with two rain delays, and the right-hander danced through the raindrops himself, working out of trouble all evening. The Red Sox twice loaded the bases with nothing to show for it, including once with nobody out, and at least one runner reached base in each of the first four innings. In all, Tillman gave up seven hits and three walks, striking out three. The loss was his first since May 11, but he carries a subpar 4.91 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into a tough matchup with the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Chris Tillman was battered around but got the no-decision, allowing five runs in an inning of work in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.
Surprisingly, it wasn't even Tillman's worst start of the season, as he had allowed eight runs in an inning to the Pirates on May 21. The right-hander allowed six hits -- including a two-run home run to Michael choice -- walked three, and struck out one. Tillman has flashed dominance at times this season, but he has a 5.20 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP on the season. He'll try to lower both in his next start at home against the Red Sox.

Chris Tillman tossed 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball Saturday in the Orioles' defeat of the Astros.

He carved his way easily through the Houston lineup on Saturday, yielding only four total hits before exiting with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Tillman will carry a 5-2 record, 4.63 ERA, and 1.40 WHIP into his next outing at home against the A's.
