Orioles' Dean Kremer: Serves up three homers Saturday
Rotowire
Kremer did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Astros, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over five innings.
Kremer was mostly undone by a nightmare first inning, in which he surrendered five runs on three homers. It continued what has been an up-and-down season for the 29-year-old, who's delivered eight quality starts but also allowed five earned runs or more in eight of his 26 outings. He'll carry a 4.19 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 127:38 K:BB across 152.1 innings into a home matchup with the Red Sox next week.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Tosses seven shutout innings
Rotowire
Kremer (9-9) yielded three hits and a walk over seven scoreless frames, striking out seven and earning a win over Houston on Sunday.
Kremer faced little pushback from the Astros' lineup and did not give up an extra-base hit. He set new career highs in total pitches (114) and swinging strikes (21) in the dominant outing. Of those 21 whiffs, eight came via the splitter. Kremer has allowed just one run over 15 innings in his last two outings, lowering his season ERA from 4.35 to 3.97 in the process. He's produced a 123:37 K:BB through 147.1 innings and a 19:3 K:BB over his last three appearances. Kremer is projected for a home rematch with the Astros next weekend.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Stuck with loss in pitchers' duel
Rotowire
Kremer (8-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over eight innings as the Orioles were downed 1-0 by the Mariners. He struck out six.
The right-hander put together one of his best performances of the season, completing eight innings for the first time as he dialed up his seventh quality start of the year on 101 pitches (67 strikes). Seattle squeezed a run across in the top of the first inning, however, and Baltimore's bats couldn't solve George Kirby and the M's bullpen. Kremer hasn't gotten into the win column since the All-Star break, but he hasn't pitched poorly, posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over five starts and 32 innings. He'll try to end his winless streak in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Houston.
Kremer (8-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.
Four of the eight hits allowed by Kremer went for extra bases, including a two-run homer in the second inning by Max Kepler. Still, Kremer was able to settle in thereafter, allowing one run over his final four innings. He's now pitched at least five frames in all but three of his 23 appearances this season and has become a reliable innings eater for the Orioles this season. Kremer owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 110:35 K:BB in 132.1 innings and lines up for a home meeting with the Mariners next week.
Kremer didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander was surprisingly taken deep by Myles Straw for a two-run homer in the second inning, but otherwise Kremer was fairly effective over his 87 pitches (56 strikes). He's allowed three runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB through 47 innings over that stretch. He faces another tough test in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Allows five runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Kremer did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.
Kremer was given an early 4-0 lead before allowing five runs, including two homers, across the third and fourth innings. It continued an up-and-down year for the 29-year-old, who's held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 21 starts but has also allowed five or more earned runs seven times. He'll carry a 4.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 99:32 K:BB over 121.1 innings into a home matchup with the red-hot Blue Jays next week.
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Effective again over seven frames
Rotowire
Kremer completed seven innings Saturday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision.
Kremer cruised through six scoreless innings before the Rays plated a run against him in the seventh. The right-hander held a one-run lead upon his departure, but Baltimore's bullpen was unable to hold it. Despite having to settle for a no-decision, this was another promising outing by Kremer, who has completed exactly seven frames in three of his past four starts, giving up one or zero runs in each of those three outings. Kremer held a 4.99 ERA at the end of his June 12 start versus Detroit, but he's shown considerable improvement since then. Over his past six appearances, the veteran hurler is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 33:9 K:BB across 36 frames.
Kremer (8-7) earned the win Friday over Miami, giving up three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out seven batters.
It's hard to ask for a better bounce-back performance than the one Kremer delivered after giving up five runs in 4.1 innings during his previous outing in Atlanta. He never allowed more than one baserunner in an inning Friday, and only one of the four Marlins who reached base against him made it to third. The 29-year-old righty has been fairly inconsistent this year, but with his latest showing, he now owns a 2.17 ERA and 1.00 WHIP alongside a 27:6 K:BB across 29 innings over his last five starts. He's also collected three wins in that span.
Kremer surrendered five runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday. He struck out two.
Kremer allowed just two runs across his previous three starts but was unable to keep Atlanta in check Saturday, serving up a pair a home runs. The right-hander continues to be a boom-or-bust starting option, as he's given up two runs or fewer in nine starts while allowing at least four runs in his other nine outings this season. The result so far in 2025 is a 4.53 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 81:26 K:BB over 101.1 innings.

Rotowire
Kremer (7-7) earned the win Sunday over the Rays, allowing three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.
It was an impressive outing from Kremer, who worked around a pair of singles in the first inning before holding Tampa to just one hit over his subsequent six frames. The 29-year-old Kremer has allowed just two runs across 17.2 innings in his last three starts. His ERA is down to 4.27 on the year with a 1.29 WHIP and 78:25 K:BB across 17 outings (97 innings). Kremer will look to keep rolling his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week in Atlanta.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Strikes out seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Kremer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Kremer yielded a run in the second inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 57 of 85 pitches for strikes and generating 11 whiffs while falling one out shy of his first quality start since May 31. The 29-year-old has had an up-and-down season, holding opponents to two earned runs or fewer in eight outings but allowing at least four earned runs in the other six. He'll carry a 4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 72:24 K:BB across 90 innings into a home matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Earns win over Rays
Rotowire

Kremer picked up his first win in June and the 500th strikeout of his career Tuesday night. His four hits allowed were his fewest since he allowed three May 8, and he kept the ball in the park for the fifth time in his last six outings. Since May 2, Kremer has a 3.52 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB in 53.2 innings. He's lined up to face the Yankees on the road this weekend to complete a two-start week.
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Works seven innings in bulk relief
Rotowire
Kremer (5-7) took the loss after working seven innings in relief, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight during Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Tigers.
Aided with the help of an opener, Kremer matched season highs in innings pitched and strikeouts. He allowed all four of his runs via two home runs in the fourth inning that proved to be all the Tigers would need. The 29-year-old gave up 10 home runs over his first nine starts, but the two homers Thursday were the first long balls he had allowed in his past five appearances. His ERA now sits at 4.99 for the season. Kremer is tentatively scheduled to face the Rays early next week, though it's unclear of the Orioles plan to again deploy an opener.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: No longer starting Thursday
Rotowire
Kremer won't start Thursday's game against the Tigers but could work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Keegan Akin, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The Orioles haven't officially confirmed that Kremer is on track to pitch Thursday, but he was previously listed as the team's scheduled starter and hasn't been reported to be dealing with an injury, so the belief is that he'll enter the contest after Akin covers the first inning or two. Kremer has made all but one of his 108 career MLB appearances as a starter, but the Orioles may be looking to see if working in bulk relief helps enhance his performance. The right-hander is coming off a rough start Friday against the Athletics in which he gave up five earned runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.1 innings.
