Baltimore has been great in Interleague play, especially against these Pirates at 6-0 the last six meetings. First place Baltimore has excellent offensive muscle, as we saw last night in a 9-2 win. Starter Chris Tillman (4-2, 3.34 ERA) is also strong, going the distance for a five-hit complete game shutout Friday against the Royals. He walked just one and struck out three. The team is 6-2 in his eight starts and 20-7 in Tillman's last 27 road starts. 35-year-old Pittsburgh starter Wandy Rodriguez (0-2, 6.84 ERA) is finished and even Rodriguez admitted this week that his knee still isn't at 100 percent. The Pirates are 1-6 in Rodriguez's last seven starts. Play the Orioles.
