Orioles Shut Out Royals 3-0, End Witt's Streak

The Baltimore Orioles secured a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals, marking their first shutout of the season and only their second instance of consecutive wins. Dean Kremer delivered a standout performance, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing just three hits, in a much-needed turnaround after a challenging start to his season. The game remained scoreless until the seventh inning when Adley Rutschman doubled and Ryan O’Hearn, a former Royal, hit a two-run homer, followed by an RBI single from Emmanuel Rivera. Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr. saw his 22-game hitting streak end, and the Royals were shut out for just the fourth time this year. Michael Wacha, the Royals' starter, matched Kremer for six innings before the Orioles broke through, ultimately allowing three runs over 6 1/3 innings. Solid defense and timely hitting contributed to the Orioles' win, with Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista closing out the combined four-hitter.
