Two weeks after he would have thrown his fourth consecutive Opening Day for the Baltimore Orioles, Chris Tillman pitched his first rehab game for the Doulbe-A Bowie Baysox.
The right-hander, who never pitched in a Grapefruit League game during spring training due to soreness in his right shoulder, threw what was, in effect, his first exhibition game April 17.
Tillman allowed a first-inning home run to Carlos Garcia of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, and in 2.2 innings, he gave up the run on two hits, walked one and struck out three. He threw 42 pitches, 25 strikes.
