Christopher Steven Tillman (born April 15, 1988 in Anaheim, California) is a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. According to Baseball America, he was Baltimore's second best prospect, behind only Matt Wieters.[1]
Baseball career
Tillman was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the second round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. On February 9, 2008, Tillman, along with Adam Jones, George Sherrill, Kam Mickolio, and Tony Butler, was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Érik Bédard.[2]
On July 29, 2009, Tillman made his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals.[3] He pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on three solo home runs. The Orioles ended up winning 7-3, leaving Tillman with a no decision.[4]
On April 28, 2010, Tillman threw a no-hitter at the Gwinnett Braves as the Norfolk Tides won the game 6-0. This no-hitter was the first for the Tides since 1992.
On April 2, 2011, Tillman carried a no-hitter through six innings against the Tampa Bay Rays in the Orioles second game of the season. He was lifted by manager Buck Showalter after the sixth inning, however, as Tillman's pitch count was already up to 101 pitches. The team no-hitter was lost the following inning by Jeremy Accardo but the Orioles did go on to win 3-1. The Orioles did not score their runs until the 8th inning, giving Tillman a no-decision.
