Orioles' Dean Kremer Shuts Down Rays in 5-1 Victory

Dean Kremer delivered an impressive pitching performance for the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, allowing just three hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings to lead the Orioles to a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Kremer struck out six batters and has now allowed only two runs in his last 17.2 innings across three starts, lowering his ERA to 4.27. The Orioles scored early and maintained control, with key hits from Ramón Laureano, Colton Cowser, Gary Sanchez, Cedric Mullins, and Coby Mayo contributing to their lead. This win helped Baltimore take two of three games against Tampa Bay and split their six-game homestand. Interim manager Tony Mansolino emphasized the importance of strong starting pitching to the team’s success, noting that good starts lead to better hitting and defense. Despite the recent wins, the Orioles have only modestly improved their standing, holding a 15-11 record in June.
