Moore vs. Tillman

[You Play to Win the Game]

In his 8 starts this season, Moore has earned a decision in 7 of them, all of which were wins. He is 7-0 on the season with a 2.44 ERA (4.43 FIP/4.19 xFIP). He has a 9.56 K/9 and a 4.69 BB/9. 

 

In his only start vs. the O's this season, on April 17th at Camden Yards, Moore went 6.2 innings, giving up 2 runs while walking 3 and striking out 7. The 2-runs for the O's came from an Adam Jones home run.

 

The O's will need to have patient AB's and make him throw a ton of pitches to give Tillman a chance here, and end Moore's perfect record.

Let's go Chris, be the stopper.

Nice first inning for Tillman as Zobrist grounds out to end the Rays 1st.

Nice start to the game for Tillman.

 

Has his curve ball yielded a hit yet on the season?

[You Play to Win the Game]

According to Pitch F/X, only 5.6% of Tilly's curves have been put in play so far this season... Not sure how to find the opponent's BAA his curve though.

Both pitchers, 6 up 6 down... Moore 20 pitches, Tilly 34.

To the 3rd, no score.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Johnson with a drive to left. Pearce there to make the play. 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Have to feel good for Chris.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Lobaton frozen.  2out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Escobar walks on 4 pitches. Top of the order coming up.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jennings down 1-2, gets even with a ball low.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Count goes full.

[Coker]

I still don't understand why/how Chris Davis holds runners on first. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Escobar scores on the Jennings double down the line in left. Nothing good after a walk..

[BSLChrisStoner]

Damage limited ad Joyce grounds out. O's down 1.
