Chris Tillman walked the first batter he faced on five pitches, then allows a softly-hit single to RF. #Orioles

Manny Machado continues his opposite-field approach for a two-out single against the shift in the Orioles first. We've got baseball in Washington.

Tillman allows a second run on an RBI groundout to shortstop. First out four batters in. #Orioles

A Juan Soto double and an Anthony Rendon single have Andrew Cashner in a spot of trouble here in the first inning. #Orioles

Anthony Rendon slid hard into second base on a 3-6 DP, and Manny Machado stayed down for a while. Rendon's arm came up and whacked Machado in the face. Looked painful. #Orioles

Home run, Mark Trumbo. His fifth of the year comes after a Jonathan Schoop bunt single, and the Orioles lead 2-0.

Have Tillman for 35 pitches/21 strikes in the first inning. He allowed three runs on two hits and two walks. Struck out one. Also had two wild pitches. #Orioles

Mark Trumbo hammers a mammoth homer into the left field bleachers for his fifth homer of the season. Orioles lead, 2-1. #orioles

Andrew Cashner with a 1-2-3, 14-pitch second inning to give him 31 through two scoreless today. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/20/2018 11:36:51 PM
Tillman recovers in the second with an eight-pitch inning. 6-3, 5-3, F-9. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 6/20/2018 11:44:31 PM
Looks like Tillman is down after two innings and 43 pitches. Ironbirds bullpen is active. Was slated for three innings/around 45 pitches tonight. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 6/20/2018 11:47:37 PM
Andrew Cashner struck out two in a clean third inning. He's pitching well today, and has a 2-1 lead.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/20/2018 11:48:10 PM
Rain falling in Aberdeen and Tillman is in fact done for the night. 43 pitches/28 striikes. He allowed three runs on two hits, two walks. 1 K, 2 WP. 4 groundball outs, 1 flyout. Retired last five batters he faced. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 6/20/2018 11:55:14 PM
The rain has begun in Washington as Anthony Rendon breaks Andrew Cashner's string of nine straight retired with a double to right field. He and Manny Machado hugged upon his arrival to second base.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 12:03:28 AM
The Orioles and Nationals are in a rain delay, with the Orioles ahead 2-0 after 4.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 12:07:58 AM
Chris Tillman said he believes his next rehab start will be Monday at Delmarva. He will continue to build up pitch and innings count. Maybe four innings/60 pitches. #Orioles

The offer for fans who purchased their tickets through the Nationals website to leave and exchanged their tickets for a future game is an ominous one.

Chris Tillman on his first minor league rehab outing in Aberdeen. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 6/21/2018 1:24:55 AM
Here’s a glimpse of #Orioles farmhand Guiyuan “Itchy” Xu, who became the first player signed out of MLB’s developmental center in China last year, playing for Aberdeen.

After rocky first inning in rehab debut, Orioles' Chris Tillman has 'a lot of work to do still' dlvr.it/QY08YN https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgLhsRiVAAAA-ht.jpg

If the Orioles need to play two tomorrow, Jimmy Yacabonis is the scheduled starter for Triple-A Norfolk. In six starts since he was last here, he has 24 K vs 6 BBs with 16 H and a 1.27 ERA in 28 1/3 innings. Could be interesting. I believe Keegan Akin starts for Bowie.

The tarp is being put away, but there are no pitchers out yet. Baseball appears to be in the process of happening, though. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 2:28:15 AM
Announced first pitch (of the fifth inning) will be at 10:50 p.m #Orioles #Nationals

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 2:29:19 AM
Miguel Castro is the first man out of the clubhouse, presumably to pitch for the Orioles.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 2:30:40 AM
Andrew Cashner is out running sprints with the position players in what I hope is an indication he will at least hit for himself in the fourth inning. Jonathan Schoop is dancing to Usher. This is going to get good. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 2:44:32 AM
Andrew Cashner got some daddy hacks in, but all three Orioles in the fifth struck out and Miguel Castro is in. Manny Machado made an error to open the home half of the inning.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 2:59:39 AM
Adam Jones has doubled to left field to open the sixth inning. He's batting .355 this month. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 3:10:31 AM
Deep fly balls to center field totaling 762 feet by Manny Machado and Danny Valencia advanced Adam Jones one base each, and the Orioles lead 3-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 3:14:20 AM
Miguel Castro walked two and left them there in a scoreless sixth. Orioles lead 3-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 3:23:27 AM
Juan Soto just looked at his bat as if there was a hole in it after swinging through a Zach Britton sinker at 94 mph. Britton struck out two around a walk in a scoreless eighth. Orioles lead 3-0 #ShowcaseSzn

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 3:59:55 AM
Zach Britton gets his precious second up after Bryce Harper lined out to Danny Valencia. Brad Brach and Steve Wilkerson in on a double switch. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 4:13:08 AM
Brad Brach allows a pair of quick singles to bring the tying run to the plate with one out in the ninth. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 4:18:44 AM
A lineout and a walk loads the bases for Mark Reynolds with two outs in the ninth.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 6/21/2018 4:22:33 AM
Orioles win, 3-0. Brad Brach punches out Reynolds to leave the bases loaded to wrap up five shutout inning of relief. Cashner: 4 IP, 3H. Mark Trumbo homered. The game took 2:34. The rain delay took 2:43.
