Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman has had a down 2015 so far. After emerging as the club's ace in 2014, he's taken a step back this season. 

To add on top of that, he's been sidelined with lower back spasms - today marked his first start in nine days. Here's what he told reporters following his start:

“I started out pretty good. I had fastball command from the get-go.”

Tillman only pitched three innings in the rain-shortened game, but that might be a positive thing as he attempts to shake off the rust from the injury.
