Tonight's attendance: 11,561 Manager Buck Showalter needed Chris Tillman to go deep into tonight's game, and the right-hander completed six innings for the third time in seven starts. Tillman was removed after 112 pitches and improved to 2-3 with a 6.15 ERA. "What did he have, three walks and a hit by pitch? It's just things a young pitcher has to figure out to get deeper in games," Showalter said. "To be honest with all of us, you probably would have signed up in blood for that number...

Chris Tillman outpitched Felix Hernandez tonight to help the Orioles beat the Mariners 4-2 at Camden Yards. You would have gotten long odds of that happening back at 7 p.m. tonight. After being traded by Seattle to the Orioles on Feb. 8, 2008, it had to feel good for Tillman and Adam Jones to beat their former team tonight. Jones went 4-for-4 with a key two-run triple. Here is more on Tillman's night: * He rebounded from his previous start, when he gave up ten hits and eights runs over 3...

The first 10,000 fans 15 and over who attend tonight's game will receive a Vladimir Guerrero T-shirt. Just be careful when wearing it in a bar. It'll chase anything. The Orioles have scored 11 runs in the last two games, which seems like an embarrassment of riches. Every starter had a hit last night except for Brian Roberts and Robert Andino - and Mariners second baseman Adam Kennedy robbed Andino by gloving his scorching ground ball while falling backward and starting a double...

Ryan Zimmerman's second annual Night at the Park fundraiser will take place Thursday, June 30 at Nationals Park. As always, the event will benefit the ziMS Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding multiple sclerosis treatment and research programs. Last year's event raised over $200,000 for the ziMS Foundation, a cause close to Zimmerman's heart. Though the ziMS Foundation hasn't announced the talent or celebrity lineup yet, the ziMS Foundation website mentions that...

Adam Jones is a man on a mission. Prove to the Mariners that they never should have traded him. Jones is 6-for-9 with five RBIs in the first two games of this series. He's singled twice and delivered a two-run triple tonight, helping the Orioles to a 4-1 lead. Luke Scott broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning with a single off Felix Hernandez that scored Derrek Lee, who singled with two outs to start the rally. Hernandez hit Guerrero to bring Scott to the plate, and the left fielder responded...

The Mariners scored once in the top of the third inning to take a 1-0 lead, which might not seem too bad on the surface. Let's dig a little deeper. Chris Tillman hadn't allowed a hit in the first two innings, but he threw 38 pitches. My math tells me that's 19 pitches per inning. That doesn't add up to quick outs. Tillman opened the third by hitting No. 8 hitter Brendan Ryan (.208) and walking No. 9 hitter Michael Saunders (.180). I don't have to tell you the flaws in that...

* Derrek Lee is now the only Oriole to start every game. Nick Markakis and Mark Reynolds were on that list until today when neither is in the starting lineup. * After grounding out with the bases loaded to end the second inning tonight, Robert Andino is now 2-for-12 on the year batting with runners in scoring position. * Chris Tillman entered this game with an ERA of 11.57 in the first two innings this year, but pitched shutout ball in those frames tonight versus Seattle. * Adam Jones now...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter gave Robert Andino the start at third base over Jake Fox, his two backup options with starter Mark Reynolds taking a seat on the bench. Andino figures to provide better defense, though his only six career starts at third before tonight came during the 2010 season. Overall, Andino had appeared in nine games at third before tonight and didn't commit an error in 11 chances over 58 innings. It figures that the ball found Andino twice in the first inning tonight,...

Here are some quotes from manager Buck Showalter that came out of his pregame session with the media: On Mark Reynolds: "He's not starting tonight, but he'll be back in there tomorrow, more than likely." "There are things that him and Jimmy (Presley) are constantly working on and it clicks for a day or so, and then he kind of gets into some habits again. Hitting up here is an ongoing process. Just because it clicks and you're doing it for a day or two... Hitting and playing in the big...

ATLANTA - Laynce Nix will make his sixth consecutive start for the Nationals tonight in left field. Before the game, manager Jim Riggleman explained that his decision to use Nix has more to do with Nix's recent success than the lingering knee injury to Michael Morse. "Basically, I'm just choosing to play (Laynce) Nix, but Mike (Morse) can play. He's just not going to move around as good as maybe he would if he was 100 percent," Riggleman said. "Nix is a strong guy. He's got power....
