Chris Tillman

Orioles name Chris Tillman starter for Wild Card Game

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman has been named the starter for Tuesday night's Wild Card Game.

What It Means:

The game will be played at Toronto's Rogers Centre, where Tillman has struggled mightily throughout his career, compiling a 7.01 ERA across 13 starts (2-6 record). Last season, the right-hander was 0-4 with an 11.72 ERA during four starts against Toronto. However, this season has been a different narrative, as Tillman has a 3.63 ERA versus the Jays, including a stifling 2.38 ERA in his two starts at Rogers Centre.

For the season, the 28-year-old Tillman twirled a 16-6 record across 172 innings. He finished with a 3.77 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 19.6 strikeout percentage.
