Dean Kremer News: Picks up win vs. Blue Jays

Kremer (1-0) got the win over Toronto on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings, striking out six in the Orioles' 9-5 win.

Kremer was shaky out of the gate, allowing three consecutive hits to open the game and two runs in the first inning. He gave up a two-run homer to Andres Gimenez in the third inning and allowed another run in the fifth, but Baltimore's offense had plenty of firepower, and Kremer scratched out the win. The righty produced a 4.10 ERA in 2024 and a 4.12 ERA the year before and profiles as a solid middle-of-the-rotation arm for a playoff contender in Baltimore. He is tentatively lined up for a road start against Kansas City next week.
