Tillman allowed six runs on three hits and four walks across 5.1 innings in a no-decision Monday against the Mariners. He recorded one strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman gave up four runs via the long ball in this one -- a solo home run by Danny Valencia in the second inning and a three-run shot by Ben Gamel in the fourth. He walked a pair before his removal in the sixth inning and saw both men come around to score on the bullpen. Tillman was making his second straight start after moving to the bullpen earlier this month, but the results have not been encouraging. He's allowed 10 runs over his previous 10.2 innings and will look to get back on track Sunday against the Blue Jays. The O's are using a six-man rotation for the time being, but Tillman is seemingly the leading candidate to join the bullpen if and when they revert back to a normal configuration.
