Unless they changed the DL rules, he can still make 2 more starts without having to be activated. 

I hope they use them.

6 k's.

ho runs  in the 5th.  

91 pitches. 52 strikes

5 iP, 5H, 5 ER,  2 BB, 6 SO, 4 HR

Very similar to his last outing.   Takes him about 3 innings to get loose.  Then he pitches well.

Announcer says he is on a 90 pitch limit so he should be done for the night.

Paul Fry on to pitch 6th.  Tillman's night is done.

[Frobby]

Not very encouraging.

Sounds like he's coming back because it's a contract year, not because he's healthy or ready.

 

Guess we don't have much other choice though.

Well he can't do worse than Ubaldo, who hopefully gets bumped and not Asher.

Agreed, but that somehow doesn't make me feel any better.

When Tillman and Britton were both getting shelled in the minors about a week ago, Buck said he's not worried about their lousy performances. It's more about how they felt...
