EDGE Analysis

Despite the stellar record coming in to the game, Tillman had not pitched very well over his prior two starts, and the trouble continued to an extent versus the Mariners. He labored through 112 pitches over his relatively brief time on the mound, and the outing marked his third straight with at least four earned runs surrendered. He also gave up a homer for the eighth time in the last nine starts when Seth Smith took him deep in the fifth, and he issued multiple free passes for the third time in the last four contests. The 28-year-old will try to bounce back versus the Dodgers next Tuesday.
