The game was the second of a four game series between the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Today was a comprehensive 6-0 win for the Orioles, as Tillman (7IP) and Matusz (2IP) combined to shut the White Sox out on very few hits. Nick Markakis's bases-clearing double in the second inning put Baltimore in front for good, with a few single run innings adding on, including Adam Jones' 100th career homer, which got a large cheer when he hit it and another when he came out to field the next inning.
Tillman didn't really seem to be doing anything special - he got into a jam in the middle innings once, but got out of it and kept on racking up the outs, with around 100-105 pitches through 7. The game was over in under 2 and three quarter hours.
The biggest cheer for the White Sox came when their 1st base coach was introduced specially before the top of the 2nd, as it's Harold Baines, the former Oriole DH. I like it when the home team recognises former players who are now with other teams. Of course, it's much easier than they're now coaches rather than opposition players, but this is something that, by and large, baseball does well.

Chicago White Sox @ Baltimore Orioles (1)
This evening was the first game of my road trip, and despite it being an evening game, the temperature was still in the high 80s. I was in the club level on the third base side, in the front row, which gives an excellent view with no chance for people to stick their heads in the way!
