Tillman gave up just three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings and 93 pitches. He threw 56 pitches for strikes and struck out two batters to improve to 3-1 with a 3.76 ERA. 

Tillman had not allowed homers in each of his previous three starts and has now won three straight outings. 

The 25-year-old will look to make it four straight when he next takes the hill Tuesday against the Padres. 

Not much, I would say. Tillman's run has been fueled by his home run prevention, as he has not allowed a home run in any of his last three starts, a stretch spanning 20 2/3 innings. This despite allowing 35 flyballs and picking up just 23 groundballs, a pretty mediocre ratio. Allowing no home runs over three starts is impressive, but not necessarily representative of his skill set. In his career, Tillman has allowed a home run on 10.8 percent of his flyballs.

Tillman also has struck out just 13 batters in his three starts, with seven walks. This recent run has been nice, but Fantasy owners can only worry about what a pitcher will do moving forward. In Tillman's case, this success seems unsustainable. He did put together a 2.93 ERA in 2012, but that came with all sorts of caveats due to a much less impressive 4.25 FIP. His FIP this season is 3.82, indicating that he has made improvements, though not to the level his recent stretch would indicate.

Tillman simply gives up too many flyballs to keep allowing so few home runs, without significantly improving his other peripherals. I don't see any indication that he has turned the page in a big way.  He still looks like a fringe mixed-league Fantasy option to me.
