Chris Tillman worked 2 2/3 innings and just gave up a two-run homer to Josh Reddick in his final inning of work. He struggled with the strike zone, throwing 59 pitches and only 29 strikes, but gave up just those two runs.
"I felt good,'' Tillman said. "I felt I got better with the negatives from last time...I threw too many pitches today, but I felt I was right around the strike zone...I thought it was okay, not great, but I thought I did some positive things out there."
The Reddick homer tightened the game up at 6-4, but Brandon Snyder has just hit his first home run of the exhibition season with a man on base to reclaim a four-run lead.
