Chris Tillman was knocked around for four runs on five hits and five walks over 5 1/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Indians.
Tillman gave up four doubles on the night, including a killer to Yan Gomes in the sixth that knocked him out of the game. The right-hander was coming off back-to-back terrific outings against the Red Sox and A's, so consider this merely a bump in the road. He'll get the White Sox this weekend.

Chris Tillman allowed two runs over seven innings and struck out eight to beat the Red Sox on Thursday.
Tillman finally notched his 15th win on the fifth try. It was mostly bad luck that kept him from getting there earlier; his ERA dropped from 3.89 to 3.66 while he went 0-1 in his previous four starts. Of course, it took a whole lot of good luck to get him to 14-3 originally with that 3.89 ERA.

Chris Tillman allowed just one run in eight innings Saturday in a no-decision against the A's.
The Orioles lost in the ninth inning when reliever Darren O'Day allowed a go-ahead home run to Coco Crisp. Tillman did his part, yielding just three hits and two walks while striking out nine in a truly dominant effort. He'll carry a cool 3.66 ERA into his next start against the Yankees in New York.

Chris Tillman fanned nine while allowing one run in eight innings Friday against the Giants.
Tillman was left with a no-decision after Jim Johnson allowed a run in the ninth, but he can't complain too much, not after he allowed six runs in 5 1/3 innings and still won last time out against the Mariners. He's 14-3 with a 3.73 ERA for the season.

Chris Tillman allowed six runs over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Mariners on Friday.
Tillman walked away with his 14th victory of the season, but it wasn't pretty. He gave up eight hits (including two homers) and walked three batters. The six runs allowed matched a season-high. Tillman will carry a 3.89 ERA into a start against the Giants next week in San Francisco.

Chris Tillman allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings in a win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Tillman matched a season-high with eight strikeouts and retired 19 out of the final 21 batters he faced. The 25-year-old right-hander now sits at 13-3 with a 3.62 ERA and 104/47 K/BB ratio over 126 2/3 innings this season. He should be started in mixed fantasy leagues next week with a start against the Astros on tap.

Chris Tillman has been added to the American League All-Star roster as a replacement.
He's taking the spot of Justin Verlander, who won't pitch because he's starting on Sunday. Tillman likely got the nod because of his 11 wins, because his 3.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 89/41 K/BB ratio over 111 2/3 frames is pretty uninspiring.

Chris Tillman yielded three runs over six innings in Friday's 8-5 win over the Blue Jays.
Tillman allowed a two-run homer to J.P. Arencibia in the top of the second inning and a solo shot to Edwin Encarnacion in the third, but he settled in nicely from there. He struck out five and walked one in the victory and heads into the All-Star break with an 11-3 record to go along with a 3.95 ERA through 19 starts. He has proven to be a excellent value for mixed league owners during the first half.

Chris Tillman was tagged for five runs over 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Yankees on Saturday.
And just like that, Tillman's six-start winning streak is over. He allowed 10 hits -- all of them singles -- and two walks while striking out three. This was the first time since May 29 that he had allowed more than three earned runs. He'll attempt to rebound next week against the Rangers at home.
