The Orioles have announced their starter for Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays: Right-hander Chris Tillman.
That means Brad Bergesen will begin the season in the bullpen, but would be the leading candidate to start April 10, when the team needs a fifth starter.
Tillman, 22, was 2-0 with a 3.93 ERA in five games, four starts, this spring. He allowed 20 hits and nine walks while striking out 10 in 18 1/3 innings.
I never saw this coming. I thought for sure Tillman was ticketed for AAA. Nevertheless, I hope the kid takes the opportunity and runs with it.
