Rookie Dean Kremer’s low-scoring start to his major league career continued apace Thursday, but a veteran newcomer who had been providing scoreless outings of his own had his streak ended in the Orioles' 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the first game of a seven-inning doubleheader at Camden Yards.
César Valdez, the 35-year-old reliever who was signed out of the Mexican League as a minor league free agent who hadn’t allowed a run in 11u2153 innings to begin his Orioles career, gave up two runs in the seventh inning after Ryan Mountcastle tied the game at one in the sixth.
