In a second consecutive lopsided Orioles loss to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, this a 7-2 defeat, rookie Dean Kremer labored through his 2021 debut and only needed to look at his counterpart for his inefficiency to be magnified.
En route to seven innings of shutout ball, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole nearly pitched an immaculate inning in the third with two three-pitch strikeouts before an 0-2 double by Trey Mancini. He rebounded by striking out the next batter, Anthony Santander, on three pitches.
An inning later, Kremer walked the bases loaded and left without recording an out in the fourth inning, having thrown 85 pitches.
