The Orioles won on Sunday and nobody got hurt. It really can happen. They closed out the weekend’s series against the Rays with a 5-1 victory that saw Dean Kremer drop seven shutout innings. The O’s offense scored its five runs with eight of the nine starting batters collecting hits, and without any of them hitting a home run. Watching a win like that, one could be tempted, if they haven’t hurt you enough already, to thinking this team isn’t as bad as it looked through about mid-May.
Kremer hanging nothing but zeroes on the Rays in this afternoon’s contest was not a given.
