Oriole Park at Camden Yards will host a game Sunday afternoon between the visiting Houston Astros and the home town Baltimore Orioles. The Astros will send right hander Jarred Cosart to the mound while the Orioles will counter with Chris Tillman.
Cosart will come into this start with a 1-3 record to go with a 4.50 ERA. He has made 7 starts this season and has allowed 19 earned runs in 38 innings. He has issued 18 walks and recorded 28 strikeouts and has pitched exceptionally well in his past 3 starts after getting roughed up by the Oakland Athletics. His ERA has dropped nearly 3 full points in those starts and will get a chance to compete against the Orioles for the first time in his career. They will send a tough lineup featuring Matt Wieters, Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis.
Tillman will enter the start on Sunday with a 3-1 record and 3.80 ERA. In 42 2/3 innings, he has allowed 18 earned runs on 42 hits and 14 walks with 37 strikeouts. He has been one of the most reliable players on this incredibly talented Baltimore team. In his career against the current Houston roster, Tillman has only pitched against 5 players and held them to a single hit in 12 at-bats. Jose Altuve is the lone player with a hit, while Chris Carter, Jason Castro, Matt Dominguez and Marwin Gonzalez are all hitless.
