He's tied for second in the major-leagues for victories with Boston's Rick Porcello and Washington's Stephen Strasburg, one win behind Toronto's J.A. Happ. Tillman ended his season-long two-game losing streak. "The fastball command was spotty, wasn't very consistent, but the other pitches were there for me throughout," Tillman said. "I felt we were able to make pitches when we had to, to get some key outs."

He hit Toronto SS Troy Tulowitzki with a pitch in the sixth inning, his fourth hit batsman of the season.

Tillman struggled early and often Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing a season-tying high six runs on nine hits with four strikeouts over five innings. "When you're getting in pitchers' counts and not putting guys away, it's frustrating, but you've got to go back and look at the positives," Tillman said. "You got to two strikes and you've just have to find a way to put them away."

RHP Chris Tillman can join Chicago LHP Chris Sale as the American League's second 14-game winner Thursday afternoon when he pitches against the Yankees. Tillman is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA over his last three starts, and he improved to 13-2 on Saturday when he allowed one run and seven hits over seven innings at Tampa Bay. Tillman is 4-6 with a 4.87 in 18 career starts against the Yankees. In New York, he is 3-4 with a 7.30 ERA in eight outings.

RHP Chris Tillman's biggest problems this season have come in the early innings. It's also been an issue throughout his career. Baseballreference.com said that Tillman's first-inning ERA (entering Saturday) was 5.06 with his second-inning at 4.80. The numbers drastically fall after that, and he allowed four runs in the first three innings of his start in the nightcap, when Tillman got a no-decision and kept his nine-game winning streak alive despite allowing six runs in five innings. "Just poor execution, I think," Tillman said. "I got ahead of a lot of guys, and I think I gave up three or four 0-2 hits. That can't happen."

RHP Chris Tillman extended a career high with his ninth consecutive win Sunday against Toronto. Tillman has traditionally struggled against the Blue Jays, going 4-10 with a 5.65 ERA in his previous 21. This time, Tillman got out of a couple of jams to avoid the big inning. He allowed four runs on five hits with four strikeouts over five innings. "I finished up good," Tillman said. "It was a little struggle early on. I think fastball command was a little off, but we finished up well. Made some pitches when we needed to and like I said, the boys picked me up, picked me up big time today. Tough day on the bullpen, but we came out of everything with a big series win."

RHP Chris Tillman kept the majors' top offense in check Tuesday, pitching seven-one run innings while giving up just five hits and two walks while striking out seven. Tillman threw a season-high 120 pitches, giving up his lone run on his 111th pitch -- a solo homer to Jackie Bradley Jr. He has won eight straight decisions and hasn't lost since April 14. "Every single pitch that I saw besides the one I actually made contact with was dotted," Bradley said of Tillman. "Perfect pitches." Tillman improved to 9-1 with a 2.87 ERA through 14 starts.

"I felt pretty good in the bullpen coming in and I was able to carry it over," Tillman said.

RHP Chris Tillman snapped a six-game winning streak, one shy of tying his career high. The right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks in 5 2/3 innings against the Yankees on Friday. Tillman had given up just one home run in his first eight starts, but allowed eight long balls in his last four outings. "I just started falling behind," Tillman said. "I think any time you're trying to make pitches from behind in the count, guys are going to make you pay when you start missing over the plate. Especially early on, when you're falling behind, if you try to make pitches behind in the count, it's not going to go in your favor."

RHP Chris Tillman had given up just three home runs in 10 starts this year, a span of 58 innings, but Sunday he gave up three home runs in the span of three innings. Carlos Santana and Mike Napoli hit home runs in the fourth inning and Jason Kipnis hit one in the sixth. "That's a good hitting ball club," Tillman said. "One through nine, they put good swings on the ball."

RHP Chris Tillman continues to give the Orioles the consistency they were hoping for from him this year. He allowed two runs on four hits in 6 1/3 solid innings and won his fifth straight game in the 5-2 victory over Seattle. Tillman (6-1) did just what manager Buck Showalter talked about before the game, pitching well most of the time, then struggling, but finding his way back. "The one thing you can pinpoint is the slider command has come a long way," C Matt Wieters said. "I think he probably started throwing it about three years ago, and he's gotten a lot of reps with it, so he's feeling a lot more comfortable with his slider."

RHP Chris Tillman's success this season has been helped by the way he's limited opponents' homers.He's now allowed only one in 45 1/3 innings after seven shutout innings in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Tigers. Tillman is using his slider more and more, which is keeping batters off-balance and turning in several good efforts. "You take what you did good and work on what you didn't do so well, and we take a lot of pride in that as a starting staff, to get that work in and I think it kind of sets us up nicely for our next outing," Tillman said.

RHP Chris Tillman (4-1, 3.05 ERA) recovered from a shaky start to go 6 1/3 innings Sunday against Oakland. He allowed three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts, including four of the final five batters he faced. Entering the game, he had given up one run and struck out 18 in his last two starts. "It was a grind early," Tillman said. "I think I made some pitches I wanted to make. They're a good team. They don't swing and miss too much. They take some good swings early on. We had to make some adjustments to get through that game."
