With their backs against the wall in the American League Division Series, Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is turning to pitcher Dean Kremer for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup with the Texas Rangers.
The Orioles trail the Rangers 0-2 in the series and need a win to keep their season — the best one Baltimore has had since reaching the ALCS in 2014 — alive.
On Monday, Hyde checked in with Kremer to make sure the pitcher was still up for the start after a deadly conflict broke out in Israel, where Kremer is a dual citizen and has a lot of family, this past weekend.
