Orioles minor leaguer Tillman tosses no-hitter

Baseball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - Lawrenceville, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Orioles minor leaguer Chris Tillman tossed a no-hitter for Norfolk Wednesday night in a 6-0 Triple-A win over the Gwinnett Braves.

Tillman walked one batter and had six strikeouts, throwing 63 of his 105 pitches for strikes.

It's the first no-hitter in the minors this season.

The 22-year-old right-hander, who was drafted by Seattle in the second round in 2006, retired the first 12 batters he faced before Brent Clevlen walked in the fifth. Mitch Jones then grounded into a double play. Joe Thurston then reached first on a fielding error by first baseman Michael Aubrey, but Tillman fanned Wes Timmons.

Tillman was on the rest of the night and he completed Norfolk's first nine- inning no-hitter since 1992 when Matt Young grounded out to shortstop Robert Andino to end the game.

In 2009, Tillman made 12 starts for the Baltimore Orioles and went 2-5 with a 5.40 ERA. He is 2-3 with a 4.05 ERA for Norfolk this season.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
