The Orioles have an early game today in Detroit, and Chris Tillman will attempt to record his 10th quality start out of 15 appearances, and his fourth in a row. In three June outings, Tillman has held opponents to three earned runs (four total) and 11 hits in 19 innings, with seven walks and 16 strikeouts. Tillman is 1-0 with a 4.07 ERA in four career starts against the Tigers, with 11 runs and 17 hits in 24 1/3 innings. He's walked 13 and struck out 20. He's allowed six runs and eight hits...

BOWIE, Md. - Day one of his injury rehab stint with Double-A Bowie went fine for Nolan Reimold, even if he didn't have any hits in the Baysox's 9-1 loss to Harrisburg. Serving as the designated hitter and batting third, Reimold struck out swinging on a 1-2 pitch in the first and fanned swinging on an 0-2 pitch from right-hander Paul Demny in the fourth. In his third and final at bat of the night in the seventh inning, he drove a 3-2 pitch deep to left but it was caught a few steps in front...

Remember when Pedro Strop was pretty much responsible for the eighth inning last season? Remember when Darren O'Day took over that role after Strop slumped? It seems as though the Orioles are giving Tommy Hunter that responsibility this season. O'Day replaced starter Zach Britton in the sixth inning tonight, and left-hander Brian Matusz replaced him in the seventh and stranded two runners. Hunter took over in the bottom of the eighth and preserved a 5-2 lead, overcoming Manny Machado's...

PHILADELPHIA - Denard Span's offensive numbers this season certainly aren't where he'd like them. Span's .256/.312/.349 slash line entering tonight's game is well below his career line of .281/.353/.385 across the board. But even though he's had his issues offensively and has battled a bruised foot for much of the last six weeks, Span hasn't let his defense suffer. The Nationals center fielder again showed what he brings to the table defensively in the fifth inning tonight, charging a...

PHILADELPHIA - That headline sounds like a movie title. Maybe something set in the old west. Don't anyone steal that idea. I might have a stop in Hollywood in my future. Not only have Ross Detwiler and Cliff Lee each thrown three scoreless innings and allowed just two hits between them so far tonight, but they've been incredibly efficient in the process. Detwiler has needed just 32 pitches to get through his three frames, 22 of which have been strikes. Lee, meanwhile, has thrown 37...

Kevin Gausman will have to wait until Wednesday to make his Triple-A debut. Norfolk's game against Indianapolis tonight was postponed because of rain and will be made up as part of a doubleheader at Harbor Park. Gausman is scheduled to pitch Game 1, followed by Josh Stinson in Game 2. Fans are asking when Gausman will return to the Orioles. Zach Britton could influence that decision. Britton, making only his second start with the Orioles this season, is shutting out the Tigers on two hits...

BOWIE, Md. - Well, at least he got to see a few pitches. In his first at-bat tonight beginning his injury rehab assignment for Double-A Bowie, Nolan Reimold struck out against Harrisburg right-hander Paul Demny. Reimold chased a high fastball on a 1-2 count to end the Bowie first. He is batting third as the Baysox designated hitter and is expected to get three at-bats in tonight's game, which is being played in front of a sparse crowd on a cloudy night at Prince George's Stadium. Ty Kelly...

PHILADELPHIA - The radar for the Philly area doesn't look great for the next couple hours, but it sounds like the teams are hoping that things might clear up around 8 p.m., allowing us to get this game in. It does appear clear, however, that we're going to start in a delay. After yesterday's tough 5-4 walk-off loss, the Nationals have no interest in having tonight's game postponed. They want to get right back out there as soon as possible and give it another go. "I'd like to get this...

BOWIE, Md. - The last time Nolan Reimold played at Bowie's Prince George's Stadium, he hit three home runs. In his last at-bat here, Reimold hit a grand slam. That was in an Eastern League playoff game for the Baysox against Akron on Sept. 4, 2008. "Man, I should have just ended on a good note. Now obviously I can't live up to that," Reimold joked a few minutes ago in the Baysox clubhouse. He is back in Bowie, but this time not as a player working his way up the minor league ladder but...
