Chris Tillman isn't concerned about his steadily increasing win total or about further establishing himself as the ace of the Orioles staff. The right-hander knew the victory was more important to his team. Tillman pitched seven strong innings to earn his 15th victory of the season, and Baltimore beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Thursday night to avoid a three-game sweep. The victory helped the Orioles pull within 3 ½ games of Oakland in the race for the second AL wild-card spot.
