Chris Tillman

(16-6)

3.84 (1.27/.241)

138K / 63BB, 19HR

QS: 14

</b>

Tillman has done better against Toronto this season with a 4.32 (1.20/.230) line in three starts. However, since returning from the DL, he has a 4.73 (1.35) and has had neither the velocity or command he enjoyed before the injury. He looked very poor in his last start against Boston allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in 1.2 innings and threw 63 pitches. It seems like he is still being bothered by that shoulder to some extent and it might not bode well at all against a team that has historically hit him well in a park that he has not pitched well at for his career.

Francisco Liriano

(8-13)

4.88 (1.50/.252)

158K / 84BB, 26HR

QS: 10

Liriano's numbers aren't pretty this season, but the bad has mostly lied in Pittsburgh where he left it. Since coming to Toronto, Liriano has put up a 3.35 (1.19/.220) with seven home runs allowed in nine appearances. His K/BB rate has also increased from 1.68 to 2.80, so he has pitched much better since coming to Toronto and throwing to Russell Martin. He has a 2.66 ERA in September and has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since his second start with the Jays against Houston back in August. He hasn't done well against the Orioles for his career though mostly due to the 22 walks in 41.1 innings. He will look to continue his strong finish to the season with Toronto and improve against the Orioles.

Manny Machado 2/5, 2K

Chris Davis 2/3, HR, 2RBI

Jonathan Schoop 1/3

Pedro Alvarez 0/2

Drew Stubbs 0/2, BB, 2K

Sanchez was a little bit off with his command at times in this one with three walks allowed and had to pitch out of a couple jams, but he allowed only one run in six innings with 10 strikeouts. Gausman allowed five runs though one was due to a throwing error by Machado, but he was tagged for two home runs and didn't look all that sharp. Chris Davis and Buck get thrown out for arguing balls and strikes on pitches that were strikes. The Orioles sure do complain a lot about balls and strikes on pitches that were strikes especially Trumbo and Davis and it's getting real old. If you're going to complain, at least do it on pitches that aren't entirely in the strike zone or strikes of any kind. Pretty stupid to get thrown out of a game because your strike zone recognition sucks and then take the manager with you.

Well, Liriano has pitched well since changing teams and I still have concerns about Tillman's health after his last two starts especially the last one. We'll see how all that works out for him in Toronto.

Always cool to see how the scouts influence how they will pitch to Mancini. No Kim to watch tonight except for any pinch hitting role. I find Kim so interesting to see how he watches pitches, works the count and does his thing. As Aristotle said, just JJ, Manny and Kim actually work the count - well Bourn does also - but all the rest are up there hacking. I'm confident until we get three K's again in the first inning and then await Mancini's at bat. Hope Tillie can be the stopper and get his 17th.
