Baltimore Orioles Baseball

Josh Bell had a homer, and 2 hits last night for AAA Norfolk. This gives him 11 hits in his last 37 at-bats (.297 average, 5 extra-base hits, .859 OPS in that span). Perhaps most importantly is during these last 10 games he has 5 walks to his 6 k's. Considering for...

Last night was Tillman's 4th 2010 start for the Birds, and the second time he did not get out of the 2nd inning. 5/29: 5.2 innings, 6 hits, 2 er, 2 bb's, 3 k's6/4: 1.1 innings, 5 hits, 4 er, 2 bb's, 2 k's6/9: 6 innings, 8 hits, 2 er, 3 bb's, 1 k6/14: 2 innings, 6...
