Mariners-Orioles clash leads MLB.TV slate
- Updated: May 18, 2016
Following disappointing 2015 seasons, the Mariners and Orioles both are fighting for first place in their respective divisions this year. That makes the teams’ matchup at Camden Yards today one of the most intriguing on an MLB.TV slate packed with 16 games, thanks to a Royals-Red Sox doubleheader.
The Mariners, who are battling the Rangers atop the American League West, snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 22-16 by winning Tuesday’s series opener, 10-0. Former Oriole Nelson Cruz led the Seattle attack by going 3-for-5 with a homer and five RBIs, leaving Baltimore righty Chris Tillman to try to get his club back in the win column today against Mariners righty Taijuan Walker. The Orioles (23-14), tied with the Red Sox for first in the AL East, now have lost their last two games after winning seven straight.

Here is a look at what to watch for today in the Majors (all times ET):
The M’s and O’s: SEA@BAL, 7:05 p.m. Walker will try to rediscover the form he showed in April, when he posted a 1.44 ERA and 25-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in four starts. In three May outings — one of them injury-shortened — the 23-year-old has allowed 10 runs (seven earned) over 12 2/3 innings. Tillman, a Mariners second-round pick in the 2006 Draft, was traded to Baltimore (along with Adam Jones) before reaching the Majors. The 28-year-old right-hander is now in his eighth season, and so far, it’s been his best. Tillman boasts a 2.58 ERA, including 1.64 over his past five outings, and his rate of 9.3 strikeouts per nine innings dwarfs his career rate entering 2016 (6.7).
“I feel good right now,” Tillman …
