Over his last seven starts, Tillman has had two clunkers, both against the Texas Rangers. In his only start against the Yankees this season, on June 22nd, Tillman pitched seven shutout innings, though he did walk four.

Greene is a righty with a fastball in the low-mid 90s, and he was pitching to a 4.61 ERA at AAA before being recalled.
