Dean Kremer missed over a month with a triceps injury, but the righty did not show any rust in his return. Kremer tossed five scoreless innings, and Ryan O’Hearn drove in three of Baltimore’s four runs as the Orioles took the series in Seattle with a 4-1 victory.
Kremer delivered everything the Orioles could reasonably ask for tonight. Making his first start since May 20, the 28-year old limited Seattle to only two hits over five scoreless frames.
Kremer touched 95 MPH with his fastball and effectively used his splitter against six left-handed hitters. He threw 58 of 83 pitches for strikes and recorded eight of his 15 outs via punch out.
