Ever since Orioles manager Buck Showalter sent Chris Tillman to the bullpen early last month, opportunities to pitch have been few and far between for the right-hander.
Tillman has started three times and relieved four times. Since his last start on Sept. 3, he’s pitched just twice -- for 3.1 innings. Overall, Tillman is 1-7 with a 7.66 ERA.
The 29-year-old says he’s not nostalgic, and on the eve of the Orioles’ final home game of the season, the soon-to-be free agent isn’t thinking his nine-year run in Baltimore is about to end.
