Game update and more notes (Jones homers, we're tied)

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he intends to give Chris Tillman an extra day of rest before each start leading into the playoffs. The goal tonight is to avoid sending Tillman to the showers early. Four of the first five Red Sox reached against Tillman in the top of the first inning, with Mookie Betts drawing a leadoff walk, David Ortiz hitting a two-run homer and Allen Craig and Daniel Nava collecting back-to-back singles. Ortiz has three home runs in the last two games and 35 on the season. He was 2-for-24 lifetime against Tillman before tonight. Ortiz launched a 75 mph split-changeup over the fence in left-center field. Tillman struck out the last two batters on 92 mph fastballs and headed back to the dugout with his pitch count at 25. Tillman struck out two more in the second inning. Will Middlebrooks drew a leadoff walk, but Nick Hundley threw him out trying to steal second base. Alejandro De Aza continues to bat leadoff while Nick Markakis is on the bench. He drew a walk in the bottom of the first and was thrown out trying to steal. Markakis is missing his third straight game after being hit behind the right shoulder Tuesday night by an Aaron Loup fastball. "Still pretty sore," said manager Buck Showalter. "For Nick to be that sore two days in a row... We did take an X-ray yesterday. Everything seems to be structurally OK. He's just real sore." I wrote earlier that Wei-Yin Chen is starting Monday night in the Bronx, but the other three starters are listed as TBA. "We've got a little tentativeness about post-Monday," Showalter said. "We gave the Yankees what Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday look like right now. We're still waiting on a little something tonight and tomorrow, see how that goes." Showalter hasn't announced whether he'll go with 11 or 12 pitchers in the Division Series. He researched some previous rosters and said 11 pitchers seemed to be the norm, "but that doesn't mean we're going to be at 11. We like being different." Going with an extra position player could allow him to keep Jimmy Paredes, Kelly Johnson and David Lough on the roster. Showalter was impressed by today's turnout at Breathe Deep Baltimore and the speech given by Ben Barlow, the husband of former Orioles PR director Monican Barlow, who died on Feb. 28 after a 4 1/2-year battle with Stage 4 lung cancer. "Ben Barlow was great," Showalter said. "The point he made was a great point. He basically said the treatments that they're using now were almost experimental and just starting when Monica back then (was diagnosed). It tells you where this money goes and how each six-month period, they seem to gain in increments of things they can treat it with." Approximately 1,000 people gathered at Camden Yards today for the walk, double the total from last year. "It's almost like everybody there knew Monica or felt like they did," Showalter said. During his speech, Showalter told everyone to treat the day as a celebration. "I said that as a pep talk to myself because I didn't want to get overly sad. I try not to look at people I know," he said. "I said it, I'm still mad about it. I am. I'm mad. I don't understand it. Somebody will let me in on it one day. "I think about her every day." Update: Adam Jones hit a two-run homer in the third to tie the game 2-2. Jones has 26 homers, the last coming on Sept. 9. The Orioles have hit 200 home runs in three consecutive seasons for the first time in club history.
